RCS launch experiences · WhatsApp dealer and owner journeys · Cloud contact centre · Dealer CRM and service-system integration
Channel recommendations
RCS for visual model storytelling on supported devices. WhatsApp for test-drive and dealer coordination. SMS or voice for time-sensitive service and safety outreach.
Compliance considerations
