Why RCS in Salesforce Matters

While standard SMS is unverified, RCS lets your brand lead with trust. RCS Business Messaging inside Salesforce brings verified sender identities, rich interactive content, and greater control over customer conversations — boosting engagement while keeping every message linked to your Salesforce customer record.

Compliance built-in

YakChat + RCS: Compliance by Design

Using RCS on personal phones puts your business at risk of shadow IT. Messages are scattered across individual devices with no central oversight, records, or control.If a message is deleted, it’s gone. Lose an employee, and you lose the entire conversation. CCPA and FCC obligations around data access, retention, consent, and auditability can be breached in an instant.YakChat provides a controlled, auditable way to use RCS in Salesforce. Messages are centrally managed, archived, and retained in line with organizational policies — ensuring data protection and compliance.Built-in opt-out handling ensures customer preferences are respected, reinforcing compliant messaging.
One platform. Every channel.

Add More Messaging Channels to Salesforce

Customer engagement is no longer single-channel. RCS is built for trusted, outbound-first customer engagement, SMS and MMS ensure reach across the US and Canada, and WhatsApp enables secure international messaging. YakChat brings them together in one place — so teams can move conversations across channels and devices without losing context, compliance, or control.
