RCS: a rich channel to extend the post-call experience
SMS has long been the preferred channel after a call, but today it comes with several limitations: plain text, limited interactions, weak visual identity, and minimal engagement data.
RCS transforms this message into an interactive, secure, and contextualized experience. Customers receive an enriched message directly in their native messaging app with the brand name, logo, images, buttons, and interactive journeys. They can track a request, reschedule an appointment, or be guided to the right solution without leaving their mobile device.
RCS also enables official brand authentication through a verified profile displaying the company name, logo, and visual identity. This has become particularly important with the rise in phishing attempts and AI-generated fraudulent messages.
RCS integrates with DialOnce Visual IVR through centralized management from a single console, with connections to IVR, API, and CRM environments, along with unified reporting. If RCS is not available, an SMS automatically takes over.

The Visual IVR guides users through a structured, rapid path, ideal for resolving simple requests or directing them to the right solution.

While the Visual IVR focuses on speed and efficiency, the chatbot enables a more dynamic and in-depth interaction. Together, they deliver a seamless and responsive customer service experience.
-
Deployment is straightforward. You simply connect your existing IVR to the DialOnce platform and define the routing rules that determine which intents should trigger a visual journey. Journeys are built in an intuitive back-office with no technical skills required. Rollout can be gradual, starting with priority intents to test, measure and refine before expanding to the entire IVR.

SMS allows you to send a simple link to a digital journey. RCS goes further by delivering an enriched experience directly in the customer's messaging app, including brand identity, logo, images, buttons, carousels, and interactive actions. It makes the journey easier to follow, more engaging, and faster to use.
-
RCS is native on Android devices and supported on iPhones. When a user cannot receive RCS, an SMS fallback is automatically used to ensure journey continuity and maintain access to the digital service.
