Where an Apple Messages for Business chat starts

Customers do not install a separate app to message a brand on Apple Messages for Business. They start inside Messages, from a place the brand has registered.

Typical entry points:

  • A button or link on the brand's website
  • Apple Maps
  • A conversation URL
  • A QR code
  • Message Suggest, when Apple surfaces the brand

The customer starts the thread. Consented invitations are a narrower path, and they are not a substitute for those entry points. The two are written up separately:

The MSP still has to carry the conversation, including a handoff to a person. Provider capabilities are at amb.directory/msps.

Disclosure: I publish amb.directory.
