Promotional RCS messages are designed to boost brand awareness, customer engagement, and sales by delivering targeted marketing communication to new or existing customers. These messages often include offers, discounts, and product or service upgrades. They can also be used to follow up on incomplete user actions, such as abandoned shopping carts or wishlists, encouraging customers to complete their transactions.
Transactional RCS messages provide customers with timely and relevant updates related to their existing accounts, services, or purchases. These include order confirmations, product or service alerts, account notifications, and information updates. Businesses can also use transactional messages to request customer feedback or share important news and alerts, ensuring ongoing communication and customer satisfaction.
OTP messages are used to securely authenticate users and validate transactions through unique, time-sensitive passwords. These messages play a critical role in account login verifications using OTP or two-factor authentication, password reset processes, and the approval of sensitive online transactions. OTP RCS ensures both security and a seamless user experience.

RCS Messaging (Rich Communication Services) is an advanced messaging protocol that enhances traditional SMS with features like multimedia sharing, interactive buttons, read receipts, typing indicators, and more. It allows businesses to send rich, branded, and personalized messages, making communication more engaging. Unlike SMS, RCS works over the internet and can send high-quality media, making it more powerful and flexible for customer interactions.
Currently, RCS messaging is not fully supported on iPhones. While Apple has announced plans to integrate RCS into iOS, it’s not yet fully available. RCS is widely available on Android devices and works through the default messaging app, Google Messages, making it more accessible on Android for now. However, once iOS supports RCS, iPhone users will be able to enjoy the same benefits.

This means only you and the recipient can read the messages exchanged, ensuring that no one else, including hackers or third parties, can access your private data. Additionally, RCS follows stringent security protocols, adhering to industry standards for data protection, including authentication and encryption.
