Why channel choice matters
iMessage sees 3–4× higher engagement than SMS (industry benchmark, open + reply rates). A reminder that gets ignored as a green bubble gets answered as a blue one. RevDesk picks the best available channel for each contact and falls back automatically — iMessage where it’s available, WhatsApp or SMS where it isn’t.Channel capabilities
One thread, every channel
- Same memory. A voice call, an iMessage reply, and an email open all land on the same contact timeline. The agent carries full context across channels.
- Smart channel selection. Business-initiated sends ride the highest-engagement channel available for that contact, with automatic fallback.
- Team handoff. When intent spikes, the conversation escalates to your team — in the inbox, or in Slack/Discord.
Compliance, synced
Consent, quiet hours, and opt-outs are enforced per contact, across channels:- A STOP on any channel suppresses every channel.
- Broadcasts respect TCPA calling windows and per-state rulebooks.
- WhatsApp and iMessage business messaging follow each platform’s template and policy rules — RevDesk handles submission and approval.
