RCS is coming to Blocx — how to architect a channel-agnostic notification layer today.
By Maya Okafor, Staff Platform Engineer at Blocx. A small registry plus a single envelope that turns each new channel — Telegram today, RCS next — into a config change instead of a refactor.
Brand identity
Blocx is the programmable messaging product from Otter Technologies Inc., headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States.
