Reply to a messenger conversation from the platform
An Operator replies to a customer's Messenger message from the shared Inbox, without opening Facebook itself.
When this happens: Operator types a reply in the conversation and sends it.
Step by step
- 1
Open the conversation with the customer on *Acme Home & Garden* in the Inbox.
- 2
Types a text reply and clicks Send.
EasyCRM checks the message against the capability declaration and the window. EasyCRM sends via the Messenger Send API with
messaging_type = RESPONSE, persists theMessageasSending, then updatesDeliveryStatusfrom provider confirmation. Reflects the sent message in the conversation in real time.
Other paths
Reply with media
Attaches an image or file within the declared limits instead of, or alongside, text.
Reply to a specific earlier message
Click Reply on a specific earlier message; the outbound message sets ReplyToMessageId.
If something goes wrong
Send rejected by messenger
Messenger rejects the send (e.g. Rate limited). Sets Failed with the provider's reason; the Operator can resend.
Good to know
- Outbound messages are validated against the capability declaration before sending.
- A reply outside the open window is blocked unless the Human Agent exception applies.
