Have you ever received a delivery message that says, \u201cYour order is on the way,\u201d but gives you no clear way to track it? You may have to search through your messages, open a website or contact customer support. Now imagine tapping Track order<\/strong> or Change delivery time<\/strong> right from the same conversation. The message becomes more useful because it helps the customer take the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That kind of experience is getting more attention from businesses. From order updates and appointment reminders to product offers and customer support, companies want to make their messages easier to act on. RCS for Business is part of this conversation.

What is RCS for Business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

RCS stands for Rich Communication Services<\/strong>. RCS for Business uses this messaging standard to help companies communicate with customers through an approved business sender, sometimes called an agent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a separate app that customers need to download. A business message can appear in a compatible messaging app, such as Google Messages. In Google Messages, an approved business agent can display a verification checkmark beside its name. The exact experience can vary by device and messaging app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does RCS for Business work? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A company sets up its business sender and completes the required verification and launch approval. It can then send messages when a relevant event occurs, such as an order being shipped or an appointment coming up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A customer may receive the message in a compatible messaging app and reply or tap an option. For example, a delivery message could offer a Track order<\/strong> button. If the customer\u2019s device does not support RCS, the business needs another way to reach them, such as SMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do companies use RCS messaging?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Companies can use RCS for Business for several types of customer communication:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
