Respond to a Facebook Messenger conversation

When a Facebook Messenger conversation is assigned to you, the contact request popover displays the Queue Name, Source Page, Timer, and Accept button. The timer indicates the time that has elapsed since you received the Facebook Messenger conversation.

Before you begin

You must be in the Available state to receive requests. If you’re in the RONA state, you must manually change your state from RONA to Available.

1

Click Accept in the request. The request opens in the compose box, and displays an interaction pane.

  • The gray bubble represents customer messages with their initials, and a solid blue bubble represents agent messages.

  • When an administrator deletes an asset, the application interrupts the conversation and displays an alert message on the Agent Desktop. The application won’t allow you to continue the conversation, so you must end it.

2

Enter your response in the compose box.

  • The compose box supports a maximum of 1000 characters.

  • If the administrator enables Mask customer sensitive data on Agent Desktop User Interface (UI) setting for the Desktop application, then the application masks Payment Card Industry (PCI) data such as Credit Card, International Bank Account, and Social Security Numbers from the conversation.

  • Moreover, the application masks Personal Identifiable Information (PII) - Email IDs and Mobile Numbers on the Agent Desktop.
