Do customers often leave Facebook comments asking about the price or their order? Or do they often leave messages hoping you could directly message them on how to place an order? If so, don't miss out on SHOPLINE's Reply to Facebook Page Post Messages feature. You don't need to open Facebook and copy/paste endless replies!
In Message Center, you can view every post's comments and identify members' comments at a glance. You can also reply to potential customers efficiently with saved replies so you don't miss out on any conversions.
*Please note that the interface might differ based on your subscription plan.

Once you have connected to the Facebook Page, go to [Social Commerce] > [Message Center], and select the "Post Message" tab. The Post Message interface is divided into three sections:

3. Reply to post comment
Before replying to post messages, you can assign the conversation to a staff member. Click the "Unassigned" drop-down menu on the top right to assign the conversation. Staff members who are not assigned to the conversation will be unable to engage with the post message.

On the post list to the left, you can filter the posts by:
-
Filter by the assigned subject. For example, you can select "Assigned to SHOPLINE", and the post messages assigned to SHOPLINE will be displayed on the list.
-
Filter by the read status. You can also mark all messages as read.
