Time to value

Moderate Setup (1-3 hours)

You can use Chert to send and receive real iMessage conversations programmatically from your applications. It provides an API and webhooks to trigger blue-bubble messages, manage multi-party threads, and automatically fall back to SMS or RCS when a recipient is not using an Apple device. You can attach rich media such as PDFs, voice notes, and contact cards directly in the thread. The service tracks message delivery, read receipts, and reactions, making it practical for customer support, onboarding workflows, and automated booking assistants.
