Facebook Messenger auto reply messages are an effective way to elevate your customer experience. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of setting up Facebook automated responses and the different methods of creating them. Plus, we’ve compiled the most popular auto reply messages for your business.

## Facebook Messenger Auto Reply: The Basics

In this section, you’ll learn what are Facebook Messenger auto reply messages and how your business may benefit from them.

### What is Facebook Messenger Auto Reply?

Facebook Messenger auto reply messages refer to automated responses to incoming [Messenger](https://respond.io/blog/facebook-business-chat) chats. Common types of auto reply messages include [Welcome Messages](https://respond.io/blog/welcome-messsage-for-facebook-page) and [Away Messages](https://respond.io/blog/away-message-for-business).

### Why Should You Use Facebook Messenger Auto Reply?

There are many reasons why Facebook Messenger auto reply messages matter. Firstly, when you acknowledge new customers with a Welcome Message, it helps you make a good first impression on them. 

![This is an image showing the benefits of Facebook Messenger auto reply messages.](https://assets2-proxy.respond.io/ph8r57dk1q9w/3LajUi8a9qXvX8XbAquswr/2bef55d6a8dcf1314ee8145b6117e866/FBAutoReplyImage01_d0660eb6b7697991302de0da3a32b65b.png?fm=jpg&q=80&w=640) 

Away Messages also set the right expectations about response time when you can’t respond to customers right away. Plus, businesses can take advantage of Welcome and Away messages by greeting customers and asking for their details at the same time. 

Auto reply messages also allow you to send quick and consistent messages, making it easier to earn the [Very responsive to messages](https://www.facebook.com/help/475643069256244)[ badge](https://www.facebook.com/help/475643069256244). However, their functionality is limited to this initial interaction and doesn't extend to following up on customer messages.

To manage conversations effectively and provide timely follow-ups, you need to use [conversational AI](https://respond.io/blog/conversational-ai) tools like [AI Agent](https://respond.io/blog/ai-sales-agent). They can intelligently converse with customers, enhancing the overall [customer experience](https://respond.io/blog/ai-customer-experience).

Now that you’ve learned the basics of Facebook automated responses and their limitations, let’s dive into the setup process.

## How to Set Up Facebook Messenger Auto Reply 

There are two ways to set up Facebook Messenger auto reply messages — through Facebook Page Inbox and respond.io.

## FAQ and Troubleshooting

### What is the difference between Instant Replies and Away Messages on Facebook Messenger?

Instant Replies are sent immediately when someone messages your Page for the first time. Away Messages are sent during hours you've marked your Page as unavailable.

### Can I personalize my Facebook auto reply messages?

Yes. You can use personalization tokens like the customer’s first name to make your replies more engaging.

### Do auto reply messages count toward the “Very responsive to messages” badge?

No. Instant Replies and Away Messages do not count toward your Page’s response rate or response time.

### Can I send auto replies outside of business hours?

Yes. You can schedule Away Messages to go out during off-hours to set expectations and let customers know when you’ll be back.

### What’s the character limit for Facebook auto reply messages?

Auto reply messages can be up to 500 characters long.

### Can I use auto replies on both Facebook and Instagram?

Yes, if you’re using a platform like [respond.io](https://respond.io) that supports both channels in one inbox.

### Why aren’t my Facebook auto replies being sent?

This usually happens if your Page is set to “Away” and Instant Replies are toggled on. In this case, only the Away Message will be sent. You can’t send both at once.

### Can I set up more advanced automated responses?

Yes. With a third-party platform like [respond.io](https://respond.io), you can set conditions, ask questions, store answers and send different replies based on customer behavior.
