If you think there’s a better way to stay on top of all conversations happening across your Instagram, Facebook Page and Messenger accounts, then, you are absolutely right. It’s called “unified inbox” – and it’s coming to you.
For businesses, it might be very difficult to follow up on every message and comment they get on their social media accounts. Even Facebook on its own is a challenge, so when you have to reply to customers on Messenger and engage with users commenting on Instagram, you soon realise how daunting things can become.

From now on, you could be able to follow up and respond to all conversations from a unified inbox within Facebook’s Pages Manager app.
