Create and manage interactive RCS campaigns with inTouch
Design messages with verified company identity, visual content, and actions. Choose your recipients, set up SMS fallback, schedule the send, and check the results directly in inTouch.
What RCS Business Messaging is
RCS Business Messaging is a business messaging channel that brings a verified profile, multimedia content, and actions to your Messages app. The company’s name and identity come along with messages featuring images, cards, carousels, and buttons, so users can check out information and take the next step without having to install another app.
Availability depends on the device, app, settings, and carrier. When included in the campaign, a fallback SMS can increase the reach to users who aren’t enabled for the RCS channel.

Content and action in the same message
An RCS message can bring together identity, content, and action possibilities in a space designed for interaction. Users can recognize the sender, check out the information, and choose the next step right from the message or the linked page.
- Verified identity: name, logo, and company info help the user recognize the sender.
- Visual content: images, GIFs, and multimedia make communication more immediate.
- Guided choice: single cards and carousels organize options and steps.
- Actions: buttons can open a page, start a call, add an event to the calendar, or show a place.
- Measurement: Sending statuses and available metrics help you see what happened in the campaign.

RCS Agent: identity verified and activated
To send RCS Business Messaging communications, you need an Agent linked to the company and approved through the project’s required processes. The Agent sets the identity shown to users and must be active before any messages are actually sent.
rdcom gathers the necessary information, prepares the Agent, and coordinates checks, tests, and the launch. Timing and steps may vary depending on the project and the people involved.
- Define the use case and gather materials and information about the company.
- Create the Agent and set up its identity.
- Complete the check and approval through the expected workflows.
- Run the tests and request the launch.
- Set up campaigns, integrations, or a conversational project.
Insert RCS into the inTouch processes and journeys
RCS is one of the channels available in the inTouch ecosystem. You can use it in campaigns and, in supported configurations, as an action in a Journey along with SMS and Email. APIs, webhooks, and integrations let you connect events and business systems to the sends.
Bring RCS into your customer engagement project
With inTouch you can create and manage RCS campaigns on your own; with rdcom you can tackle Agent, integrations, and more complex projects. Let's start with the use case, the format, and the systems that need to communicate with the channel.
