Customers were sent an eye-catching RCS message straight into their default messaging app via Moments. Unexpected questions were directed to the right human agent via Conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the backend, Conversations also gave Telekom Deutschland agents a clear view of any customer\u2019s interaction with a message.
