What is Rich Messaging?

Rich messaging goes beyond plain text to include media like images, videos, audio, GIFs, documents, location sharing, and interactive elements like buttons or cards. Rich messaging makes conversations more engaging and useful—showing a product photo says more than describing it in text.

Why Rich Messaging Matters

  • More engaging and visual conversations
  • Communicate complex information clearly
  • Better customer experience with interactive elements
  • Stand out from plain-text competitors
