RCS messaging arrives in GoHighLevel Labs
Published
Short answer
HighLevel added RCS (rich communication services) messaging in Labs on October 28, 2026, with registration handled inside HighLevel. It's switched on by the agency for each sub-account.
What it is
RCS is the richer messaging standard that phones support alongside SMS. HighLevel's announcement covers richer conversations and registration inside the platform. As a Labs feature, treat it as something to test, not something to move your texting onto yet.
Who it affects
Businesses that text customers from HighLevel and want to try richer messages.
What to do
- Ask whoever runs your agency account to enable it for your sub-account; HighLevel says the agency turns it on.
- Complete the RCS registration inside HighLevel.
- Keep your A2P 10DLC registration in place for regular texts.
