And so we’ve reached the end of the road (thanks Boyz II Men) — the last in our 4-part series with Genesys around RCS. We’ve talked about what Rich Communications Services (RCS) is, why it’s one of the technologies your business needs to be using, and how you can get your customers’ attention with it.

Now it’s time to show it in use.

An app-like experience, right in your text messages

We’ve talked about what sets Rich Communication Services (RCS) apart from regular SMS or MMS.

On top of being able to add branding elements, custom responses, and rich media cards, the ability to embed information like phone numbers, location data, and maps creates an app-like experience in your customers’ native texting application.

We’ve talked about what sets it apart, we’ve even given you a few use cases; now it’s time to show you what RCS actually looks like.

Check out how it works.


Pretty awesome, right?

Looking ahead: RCS messaging
