Managing your Facebook Channel
With Facebook in Zoho Desk, you can start engaging with your customers and address their issues in real time. You can view and respond to your customers' posts and comments from inside Zoho Desk. Besides these, you can choose to convert all of your page posts or only those matching specific keywords into tickets. While your Support Manager will configure your Facebook account under Setup, here are the actions you can perform under the Social tab.
