Overview

Facebook Messenger in detail

Customers who find you on Facebook often write to your Page in Messenger. When those chats live in a separate app, only one person sees them and the customer's history is split. Connect your Facebook Pages, and every Messenger chat lands in the shared inbox as a conversation, with labels, assignment and automation rules working the same as on every other channel.

Setup takes a few minutes. Click Continue with Facebook, sign in and grant Deskwoot the Pages you want to connect. You need to manage each Page with full control or with access to messages. Each Page becomes its own inbox, named after the Page, and if you connect a Page again later, its inbox comes back with all conversations.

Text, photos, videos, voice messages, files and stickers arrive in real time, and a reaction to one of your messages shows on it. When a customer comes from an ad, the conversation shows which ad. Your team sends text, images, videos, audio and files of up to 25 MB, and the reply goes out through your Page. Replies your team writes in Meta Business Suite show up in the conversation too.

Messenger delivers a business's reply only within 24 hours of the customer's last message. Deskwoot shows when that window has closed, and private notes for your team work at any time. Fynn answers the routine questions when you switch him on for the inbox, always within the 24 hours, and hands the conversation to your team when a person is needed.

What you get

Facebook Messenger for everyone who answers your customers

Every Page in one inbox

Connect one or more Facebook Pages. Each one becomes its own inbox in Deskwoot, next to your other channels.

Photos, files and reactions

Customers send text, photos, videos, voice messages and files, and your team replies with files of up to 25 MB.

The 24 hours in view

Deskwoot shows when the customer's last message is more than 24 hours old, so nobody writes a reply that Messenger would not deliver.

Fynn in Messenger

Switch Fynn on for the inbox, and he answers routine questions within the 24 hours and hands the rest to your team.

QUESTIONS

FAQs

What do I need to connect a Page?

You manage the Facebook Page with full control or with access to messages, you are an administrator of your Deskwoot workspace, and your plan has room for another inbox.

Why can I not reply to a Messenger chat?

The customer's last message is more than 24 hours old, and Messenger delivers a business's reply only within that time. Once the customer writes again, you can answer right away. Private notes work at any time.

Can I start a new Messenger conversation?

Only with someone who wrote to your Page in the last 24 hours. Messenger does not let a business write first.

Does Fynn answer Messenger chats?

Yes, when Fynn is switched on for the inbox, like on your other channels. Fynn always answers within the 24 hours.

Why is my Page missing after I signed in?

Facebook lists only the Pages you granted during the sign in. Click Continue with Facebook again and pick the Page. If your account may not manage its messages, ask a Page admin for message access.

Can my team keep using Meta Business Suite?

Yes. Replies your team writes in Meta Business Suite still appear in the Deskwoot conversation, as your team's replies.
