Texting is still the most direct line to your customers, so why are you still asking for feedback by email? Survey links sit unopened, forms get abandoned halfway, and the responses you do get skew to the angriest and the most delighted. RCS (Rich Communication Services) changes that: branded senders, tappable star ratings, 1-to-5 recommend scales, answer buttons, suggested replies, and real two-way conversations, all inside the customer's native messaging app. No new app to download, and no link to chase.
The catch? Actually getting an interactive RCS survey live is harder than it looks, and today we're opening early access to fix exactly that.
The challenge: getting started quickly is hard
Most teams hit the same wall. RCS is powerful, but a first survey means designing rating questions, answer buttons, and branching reply flows from a blank canvas, writing on-brand copy, and wiring everything to a messaging provider. That's days or weeks of work before a single question goes out, and it usually needs design and engineering help your team doesn't have on tap.
And then there's RCS approval
Before you can send branded RCS from your own sender, your brand and RCS agent go through a verification and review process with the provider and carriers: logos, sample messages, opt-in language, and use cases all get checked. It's the right thing for trust and deliverability, but it's also a gate that can take days, and sometimes weeks, between "we want to try RCS surveys" and "our survey is live."
The solution: pre-built survey templates
RCS Surveys removes the build-from-scratch blocker. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, you start from a pre-built survey template that already follows RCS best practices: the right question types, clean branching, compliant opt-in and STOP handling, and approval-ready content. Pick a Net Promoter Score, Customer Satisfaction, or post-purchase survey, customize the questions and media, and it's ready to send.
Skip the approval wait: launch on a pre-approved number
Here's the part that turns days or weeks into minutes: you don't have to wait for your own sender to be approved to go live. Launch on one of RCS Surveys' already-approved RCS sender numbers and you can send branded, interactive surveys today, with no verification queue to sit in. When you're ready to send from your own branded sender, we help you through brand and agent verification in the background, and you switch over the moment it clears. Until then, the approved number gets you collecting responses now.
