Question from a relatively uninformed sysadmin/freelance I.T. provider—will these new iMessage functions allow for 3rd-party applications (ie—CRMs, client support platforms, etc.) to read and/or work with incoming iMessages from my iCloud account? The only thing I really miss since coming from Android was my ability to consolidate all of my client communications, many of whom send text messages first and foremost (which I prefer).
Apple provides Messages for Business [0], but if you have a machine that can read the iMessages as they come in, you could use the library [1] that powers `imessage-exporter` as a bridge.
Don’t know if it helps, but I know iMessage stores message data on MacBooks inside a SQLite file; I was scanning through it previously because I was trying to do a bulk search
