Getting Started

Quickstart

Send your first RCS message and receive the reply.

  1. Get an RCS number. Ask your account manager to assign one to your account. It appears in GET /v3/phone_numbers.

  2. Subscribe to webhooks with POST /v3/webhook-subscriptions, so replies (message.received) and delivery status (message.delivered, message.read) reach you.

  3. Start a chat with POST /v3/chats, using your RCS number as from:

    Terminal window
    curl https://api.linqapp.com/api/partner/v3/chats \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINQ_API_KEY" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{
    "from": "+12025550100",
    "to": ["+12025550123"],
    "message": { "parts": [{ "type": "text", "value": "Hello from Linq" }] }
    }'

    The first message of a new chat cannot contain a link.

  4. Keep the conversation going with POST /v3/chats/{chatId}/messages, using the chat_id from step 3.

See the API reference for every operation available on an RCS number.
