As a Salesmsg client, you can now leverage RCS to send personalized, modern messages to recipients whose devices and carriers support RCS. This helps you:

  • Increase engagement with richer message formats

  • Deliver more professional, branded conversations

  • Ensure fallback SMS/MMS delivery when RCS isn’t available


Getting Started with RCS

Step 1: Access the RCS Menu

From the Salesmsg navigation panel, select RCS.

  • If you don’t have an RCS Inbox yet, you’ll see an empty state.

Step 2: Add a New RCS Sender

  1. Click + New RCS Sender.

  2. You’ll be redirected to the RCS Submission Form (Typeform).

  3. Provide your sender details in the form.

  4. A Salesmsg representative will review your submission, configure compliance, and set up your RCS Sender with Twilio.

Step 3: Inbox Setup

Once your RCS Sender is configured:

  • A dedicated RCS Inbox is created and appears in your list of Inboxes.

  • You can select a fallback Inbox for contacts who don’t support RCS.

  • Calls are not supported in RCS Inboxes (no power dialer or call options).


Billing for RCS

  • RCS messages are billed the same as MMS (2 credits per message, including international).

  • You are also charged for failed RCS messages.

  • Analytics reflect both the failed RCS attempt and the subsequent fallback SMS/MMS as two separate messages.

Who Can Use RCS?

  • Visible only to Owners and Admins in your Salesmsg account

  • Not available for companies connected with their own Twilio accounts

  • Available across all subscription plans
