Summary

Twilio provides a tutorial on implementing Rich Communication Services (RCS) using NodeJS. RCS combines the simplicity of SMS with advanced features of modern messaging apps like WhatsApp, offering multimedia support, verified sender profiles, and comprehensive engagement tracking without requiring additional app downloads. To get started, developers need to create an RCS sender, add profile information, test their sender, create a messaging service, set up webhook integration (optional), and send their first RCS message with NodeJS. Twilio's RCS offering includes features like failover for undelivered messages and quick reply buttons, making it easier to build engaging customer experiences.
