Send RCS using Node.js

Node.js is a scripting/programming language and can be used to quickly and easily add RCS support for programmatically sending and receiving RCS messages. Use it for transactional messaging and notifications between your application and mobiles.

Code examples

There are a number of different APIs that can be used for sending and receiving RCS. APIs included in our tutorials that can be used for sending RCS using Node.js are:

• Send RCS with MaaP using Node.js

Node.js requirements and resources

In addition to the requirements of the chosen API, the following are required to send RCS using Node.js:

• Node.js - Node.js is a scripting/programming language

Other languages covered in our tutorials that can be used for sending and receiving RCS include: Python, cURL

Using in production

Whether it is Node.js or another language, you can send RCS and receive RCS between applications and mobiles for a wide range of uses.

We provide a wide range of CPaaS services and infrastructure to organisations, including cloud platforms that enable you to run your own SMS gateway.

Get in contact with us to find out more about CPaaS voice, messaging, video and identity from Melrose Labs.

Testing

For testing your application's RCS support when using the MaaP protocol, we recommend starting with the Melrose Labs RCS MaaP Simulator service to simulate RCS messaging to and from mobiles.
