How to build an RCS carousel

  • Go to sidebar, Templates, Add template, RCS template.

  • Select Rich cards as the message type.

  • Add up to 10 cards per carousel.

  • For each card, you can upload media, add text, and include buttons for interactivity.

Adding media

Each carousel card can include an image or video.

  • Drag and drop a file, or click โ€œChoose a fileโ€ to upload from your computer.

  • Supported file formats:
    jpg, jpeg, png, gif, mp4, m4v, m4p, mpg, mpeg, webm

Customizing each card

Each card can include:

  • Header: A short, attention-grabbing title

  • Body: Supporting text or description

To personalize your message, click the โž• icon in the header or body to insert a variable, such as a contactโ€™s first name or company. You can also add emojis anywhere in your text.

Adding buttons

Each carousel card supports up to 4 buttons. Buttons help customers take quick action directly from your message.

You can label each button with your preferred call to action, such as โ€œBook Nowโ€ or โ€œCall Us.โ€ Learn more about buttons here.

Button actions include:

  • Select a Template โ€“ send a predefined message or response

  • Trigger an Agent โ€“ prompt one of your AI agents to take over the conversation

Tips for a great carousel

  • Keep headers short and easy to scan.

  • Use consistent image sizes for a polished, branded look.

  • Include at least one clear call-to-action button per card.

  • Test your carousel on mobile using your test device numbers before launch.
