Lists

Static Lists in Clerk Chat are manually managed groups of contacts. Unlike dynamic lists, static lists do not update automatically and require you to add or remove contacts manually.

Static Lists


Dynamic Lists in Clerk Chat enable you to create intelligent, automatically updating groups of contacts based on customizable filters. These lists refresh in real time, ensuring you always have access to the most relevant contacts without any manual effort.


Dynamic Lists

Differences between Static and Dynamic lists

The Block List helps your team manage unwanted or inappropriate contacts by giving you full visibility into who has been blocked and control to unblock them if needed.

RCS for Business

RCS (Rich Communication Services) brings enhanced messaging capabilities directly to your business phone number. With RCS, your business messages feel more personal, visual, and interactive, helping you connect with customers in richer ways, including images, buttons, carousels, and other dynamic elements that drive engagement and action.

About RCS for Business

To launch your RCS Agent, Clerk Chat needs a few assets and details from your team. Once these are submitted, our team will handle brand verification, carrier approvals, and launch preparation for you.

RCS Agent Setup

Creating RCS messages is fast and flexible with our built-in template builder.

Send interactive, swipeable cards directly to your customers, perfect for showcasing multiple products, services, or offers in a single message.

Creating Carousels

Buttons

The Calendar button in RCS messages makes it easy for customers to save important dates — like appointments, demos, or events — directly to their personal calendar. You can include a calendar button in any RCS message or carousel created through Clerk Chat’s Template Builder.
