AI BriefingVercel Connect Now Supports Linq
Key point
Vercel Connect added support for the Linq connector, enabling iMessage and SMS-based messaging capabilities.
Details
A Linq managed connector has been added to Vercel Connect, allowing applications and agents to send and receive messages via iMessage, RCS, and SMS. Vercel creates or links Linq accounts and phone numbers, so developers can use it immediately without managing credentials.
This connector also powers the new Linq channel in the eve framework. Running the eve add channel/linq command automatically configures the connector, phone number, and webhooks, providing a natural messaging experience with read receipts and typing indicators.
Additionally, the getToken function in the @vercel/connect SDK allows exchanging the OIDC identity of a Vercel deployment for a short-lived Linq token. Passing this token as a bearer token in Linq Partner API requests ensures messages are delivered via the optimal protocol supported by the recipient (iMessage > RCS > SMS).
