Testing RCS Messages


Before your Agent is fully launched, you can still validate how your messages look and behave on real devices by adding phone numbers as testers.

📘

Testers only matter before launch. Once your Agent is live, you can send RCS to any RCS-capable number without adding it as a tester first.

Managing testers

Go to RCS > Testers, select the Agent you want to test, and you'll see the list of phone numbers added as testers for that Agent.

Each tester shows its phone number, a label you choose (for example "Test Android" or "Test iPhone"), and its current status.

Invite status

Adding a phone number as a tester sends it an invitation. The tester must accept this invitation on their device before they can receive messages from your unlaunched Agent. A tester moves through:

StatusDescription
PendingInvitation sent, not yet responded to
AcceptedTester accepted — they can now receive test messages from this Agent
DeclinedTester declined the invitation

You can add up to 200 testers per Agent.

Removing a tester

Remove a tester from the list at any time — for example, once you're done testing or a device is no longer needed.
