HighConnexion RCS is a business messaging service that adds interactive features to messages without requiring customers to install an app. Messages appear in the native Messages app on Android and iOS and can use basic, rich, or conversational formats. Basic messages support up to 160 characters, clickable links, and URL previews; richer formats can include images, videos, files, maps, carousels, action buttons, and suggested replies. Messages can display a sender’s official name and logo, while an RCS agent can include brand colors, images, and contact details. HighConnexion says its team helps configure agents validated by Google and operators. Listed uses include promotional campaigns, payments, reservations, customer service, OTP codes, and security notifications. Payments in conversations can use bank cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, or mobile phone bills. Campaign reporting tracks sends, reads, clicks, and replies. Businesses can request API access to message from their own platform through SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, and Apple Messages for Business. HighConnexion describes the offer as a wholesale facilitator service; pricing is on request.
