Work a conversation

The list has Open, Replied, Closed and Spam tabs and filters for network and type. Open a conversation to read it with the original post for context.

  • Reply publicly under a comment, or Send private message to the commenter (once, within 7 days of the comment).
  • Hide / Unhide a Facebook or Instagram comment.
  • Done or Spam to file it.
  • Set the type, assign a teammate (they get an email), and Create lead to add the person to your CRM with the conversation on their timeline.

Meta only allows replies to DMs within 24 hours of the customer’s last message; after that, the composer tells you and you can reply when they write again.

AI in the inbox

When AI replies is on, each conversation shows the AI’s read — type, confidence, sentiment, summary and any contact details given — and a draft reply. Use Send, Edit, the tone shortcuts (Shorter, Warmer, More formal, Add a call to action) or Regenerate. Scheduled auto-replies show Replying soon with Send now and Don’t send.

Dashboard

Waiting for a reply, conversations in 30 days by network, median response time and leads from social.
