Zoho Desk's Instant Messaging Update | New Integration | Nov '23

We're adding more ways to stay connected with your customers!

Hi All,

 We've been working on many improvements for the last few months, and we're excited to announce a highly anticipated integration with Facebook Messenger! Let's dive right into the benefits of integrating Facebook Messenger with Zoho Desk.

Introducing the Facebook Messenger integration

We are excited to add Facebook Messenger to Zoho Desk's list of IM integrations. You can now easily manage your Facebook Page's activity alongside messages from various channels on one common platform.

 Being one of the most popular messaging channels, Facebook Messenger unfolds your business communication needs and provides an easy outlet for communicating with customers and maintaining your social media branding. With this new integration, you can link your Facebook Messenger account with Zoho Desk and respond to customer queries on the popular IM platform.

Facebook Messenger is the second most popular messaging app in the world (after WhatsApp).
Users send over 100 billion messages daily.

From the above facts, we can see why Facebook Messenger is such a valuable tool for connecting with customers. Zoho Desk's integrations provide a seamless communications experience across multiple channels to help businesses respond promptly to inquiries from existing and prospective customers.

Instant Messaging integrations allow you to maintain all your business communications in one messaging module, so you don't have to move between messaging platforms to stay in touch with your customers.

How the Facebook Messenger integration works

A Facebook user reaches out to your business via Messenger. Your agents receive the message and seamlessly continue the conversation from Desk's Instant Messaging module, without logging into Facebook.
