RCS Capabilities Used

🃏
Rich Cards
Full-bleed image with title, description, and action buttons — all inside the native Messages app.
🎠
Carousel
Swipeable card stack lets customers browse multiple items without leaving the conversation.
Suggested Actions
Buttons that trigger real-world actions: dial a number, open a URL, or save a calendar event.

How It Works

  1. 1

    Business sends: "🏨 Welcome! Your check-in at The Grand Hotel opens tomorrow. Would you like to check in now and skip the front desk?" — with quick replies "✅ Check In Now", "Check In Later"

  2. 2

    Customer taps: "✅ Check In Now"

  3. 3

    Business presents a swipeable Carousel with 3 items: "Superior Room — Floor 4", "Deluxe Room — Floor 7", "Suite — Floor 10"

  4. 4

    Customer taps: "Select"

  5. 5

    Business shows a Rich Card — "🔑 Room 712 — You're Checked In!" with buttons "Add to Google Wallet", "🛎️ Room Service"
