Facebook Messenger
Connect one Facebook Page to CRMAI through Connections, so every incoming message can be managed directly from CRMAI.
Never copy access tokens, App Secrets, or customer data into screenshots, documentation, or support tickets.
Before you start
You have access to the CRMAI workspace and the
connections:createpermission.You're an admin or manager on the Facebook Page you want to connect.
The Meta account you'll use for OAuth manages only one selectable Page — this release doesn't support picking from multiple Pages yet.
Your browser allows redirects/popups from Meta.

Default Connection (if Facebook Messenger should be prioritized)
Greeting, farewell, and away message

Click Save after any change, and wait for the success notification before leaving the page.
