Messenger replies Beta

Facebook message replies: answer Page messages and comments with your quote form

Facebook message replies from your Lead inbox: people message your Page, ask "how much?" under posts and ads, or write on Instagram, and you answer with a tracked link to your quote form.

Why it matters

From the problem to what SEOmise does

The problem

Questions in Messenger and the comments go unanswered

A "how much?" under an ad or a message on a Saturday waits until someone finds it, and by then the person has asked someone else. Answers typed one by one never say where the enquiry came from.

What Messenger replies does

Facebook message replies: answer Page messages and comments with your quote form

  • Messages and comments in one place. Messenger and Instagram messages, comments on your own posts and ads, and click-to-Messenger ad conversations.
  • Saved replies. Your team's best answers, each with the form its link opens; your Page's name filled in.
  • A tracked form link. Every reply carries a link to your Lead capture form on a page of its own, so the lead is counted as from that conversation.

How it works

Four steps, start to finish

  1. Connect your PageSign in with Facebook in the Lead inbox, choose your Page and switch messages and comments on. Add the Instagram account linked to it.
  2. See every conversationMessages to your Page, comments on your own posts and ads, and messages from click-to-Messenger ads, in one list.
  3. Reply with your formPick a saved reply and the form its link opens, change the words if you like, and send.
  4. The lead arrivesWhen they send the form, the lead lands in your Lead inbox marked as from a message reply, with the conversation.

Features

What you get with Messenger replies

Messages and comments in one place

Messenger and Instagram messages, comments on your own posts and ads, and click-to-Messenger ad conversations.

Saved replies

Your team's best answers, each with the form its link opens; your Page's name filled in.

A tracked form link

Every reply carries a link to your Lead capture form on a page of its own, so the lead is counted as from that conversation.

One automatic first reply

Off until you switch it on: one reply with the form link to a message, or to a comment with a keyword such as price or quote.

Stops when you step in

As soon as someone from your team answers, here or in Meta Business Suite, automation stops for that conversation.

Inside Meta's rules

Replies only within 24 hours of their last message, and one private reply per comment within seven days.

Quiet hours and limits

Automatic replies wait for the morning and stop at the Page's number an hour and a day.

A public line under comments

Optionally answer the comment with "We've sent you a message." so they look in their inbox.

Copy a reply for anywhere

No Page to connect? Copy the reply with its tracked link into Messenger, WhatsApp or anywhere and send it yourself.

Results that say what they know

Conversations, replies, form opens, leads and the time to your first answer. "Not measured" with the reason, never a made-up zero.

Never cold messages

Only people who wrote to your Page or commented on your own posts can be answered. There is no way to message anyone else.

Private by design

Ids and messages stored encrypted, deleted after 90 days, and nothing shown to people limited to other projects.

Without Messenger replies

  • Questions under ads wait until Monday
  • The same answer typed again and again
  • No idea which conversation became a job

With Messenger replies

  • Every message and comment in your Lead inbox
  • A saved reply with your quote form in two clicks
  • Leads marked with the conversation they came from

Questions

Messenger replies: common questions

Can I message people who have not contacted me?

No. Meta only allows a business to message someone who wrote to its Page, commented on its own post or ad, or started a chat from its ad, and this tool follows that. There is no way to message people found in groups, forums or other sites.

How long do I have to reply?

Within 24 hours of the person's last message, and one private reply to a comment within seven days. The screen shows until when you can reply and says why once the window has passed.

Will the automatic reply answer twice?

No. It sends one reply per conversation at most, never after your team has answered, never in your quiet hours, and never past the Page's limits.

Does it work with Instagram?

Yes, for the Instagram professional account linked to your Facebook Page: its messages and comments on its own posts, with the same replies and links.

How is a lead counted as from Messenger?

Each reply's link carries a short reference to its conversation. When the form is sent from it, the lead in your Lead inbox is marked as from a message reply and linked to that conversation.

What if I cannot connect my Page?

Use "Copy a reply": it makes the same reply with its tracked link for Messenger, WhatsApp or anywhere, and you send it yourself.
