RCS in Journeys
RCS brings interactive and dynamic messaging experiences to life, optimizing costs and improving conversion rates.
Pre-requisites
To utilize RCS within our platform, ensure you have a CPaaS (Communication Platform as a Service) account. Note that RCS is currently available for our Indian customers.
Refer to RCS integration document to integrate RCS with Netcore CE platform.
Key Features
- RCS as an Action Node: You can seamlessly incorporate RCS messaging into your omnichannel journeys. Whether users become part of a segment, get added to a list, or hit a specific contact milestone, you can send personalized RCS messages at precisely the right moment.
Note
- Now, Time to live(TTL) is supported in RCS CPaaS dashboard. This feature helps you to specify the expiry time for your campaign. Refer this documentation.
- All these features support RCS events, including Sent, Delivered, Clicked, and Failed.
- Journey Trigger Event: Start customer journeys automatically based on user actions. When users make a product purchase, sign up, visit a page, or perform other such actions, this triggers immediate engagement. Ensure your messages are timely and relevant.
- Has Done Event and Wait for Event Node: Improve journey workflows by tracking user actions. The Has Done Event node checks if a user has completed an action before moving forward. The Wait for Event node pauses the journey until the action happens. This ensures messages are sent at the right time.
- Webhook Node in Journeys: With the Webhook Node, you can easily connect external systems to your customer journeys. Trigger actions, update databases, or fetch real-time data to keep all your systems in sync. For example, if someone clicks an RCS message, this action will be recorded in your CRM and attributed to that user, enhancing your customer engagement strategy.
- Segmentation: Create targeted customer groups with segmentation. Define your audience by demographics, behavior, or engagement. Enhanced segmentation includes RCS metrics such as Sent, Delivered, Clicked, and Failed, allowing for even more precise audience targeting. Use this for marketing campaigns or personalized messages to ensure relevant and effective communication.
