Key point
Chat SDK now supports iMessage, SMS, and RCS messaging via a Sendblue adapter.
Details
Chat SDK has begun supporting Sendblue through a new vendor-official adapter. This allows developers to build bots that send and receive iMessage, SMS, and RCS messages using Sendblue's hosted gateway.
Key features include the following:
- iMessage-first delivery: Prioritizes iMessage, with automatic fallback to SMS and RCS upon failure.
- Advanced messaging features: Supports Tapbacks, typing indicators, and message delivery status callbacks.
- Conversation management: Maps each Sendblue conversation to a Chat SDK thread associated with a specific phone number and contact (or group).
Developers can configure the adapter to respond to @-mentions during mobile conversations.
