Group MMS outside RC contacts

Hi,

I would like to create a Group MMS where a number from RC would send an MMS to two or more numbers (outside RC) in the US or Canada.

That way when the numbers would get the MMS they could chat in the group chat.

Is this something that RC supports? Send a MMS to a group of numbers so that they can all chat?

Thank you in advance.

Yes you can. If you use the RC app, check the 'Create group text' check box. If you send from using the API, the 'to' body parameter is an array

e.g.

to: [{'phoneNumber': '2312321323'}, {'phoneNumber': '3213232323'}]
