Steps
Create an agent in the RCS Business Communications console and configure branding (name, logo, colors).
Use the Business Communications / RBM Management API to configure agent launch details and request carrier/Google review.
Verify test devices via the testers API before wide launch.
Integrate the RBM messaging API to send rich cards, carousels, and suggested replies once the agent is live.
Account for regional endpoint routing requirements on batch user-capability lookups.
Known gotchas
The product was renamed from 'RCS Business Messaging' to 'RCS for Business' with no functional break, but older tutorials still reference the old name — verify the endpoint you're calling against current docs, not older blog posts.
Legacy per-phone tester management (the phones.testers resource) is being replaced by a newer testers resource — don't build new tester-invite flows against the deprecated one.
Give your agent this knowledge — and 15,500+ more routes
