A smartphone with three rich media card panels floating in a carousel above its screen

Rich cards where the handset supports them

  • Automatic capability check per handset, with SMS fallback in the same request
  • Rich cards, carousels and suggested replies, all defined in the template
  • Verified sender registration with the brand name and logo shown in the thread
  • Read receipts and typing indicators where the network exposes them
  • Per-market availability reporting, so you know what share of a list can receive rich
  • Identical delivery states across both channels, so reporting stays one pipeline
