How to Send an RCS Message with Twilio and C# .NET

With the advent of Rich Communication Services (RCS), businesses are leveling up how they engage their customers by mirroring the interactive features of messaging apps while delivering reliability similar to SMS. RCS brings advanced features such as multimedia, verified sender profiles, and comprehensive engagement tracking support, allowing businesses to leverage these capabilities to enhance customer experience. Twilio is a platform that enables developers to create an RCS sender and messaging service, which can be used to send RCS messages using C# with .NET. To get started, you need a Twilio account, a phone number for sending SMS as a fallback, and a device capable of receiving RCS messages. The process involves creating an RCS sender, adding profile information, testing the sender, creating a messaging service, and optionally setting up webhook integration. With RCS, businesses can transform their customer engagement approach by providing reliability and interactivity similar to popular messaging apps.
