Messenger Chatbot for Your Facebook Page, Trained on Your Business
Writing to a Facebook Page has replaced phoning a shop: people ask a price, check the hours, or find out whether Thursday still has a slot. From your own information, RevoplyAI answers those messages within seconds, in Arabic and English. And when a question calls for a person, your team receives the conversation with its full history attached.

What is a Messenger chatbot?
A Messenger chatbot is software that replies to the messages people send your Facebook Page, so nobody on your team has to type the answer. Most of them depend on flows: a tree of buttons and keyword triggers that someone must draw beforehand. RevoplyAI behaves differently. It reads what the customer actually wrote, searches the knowledge base you supplied for the answer, and responds in the customer's own language. When the answer is missing, it says so plainly and passes the conversation to your team.
Meta gives a business 24 hours to reply after a customer messages its Page. Our assistant answers in seconds, well inside it. Your team's replies must land inside it too.
Meta's Human Agent tag lets a person reply manually for up to 7 days. RevoplyAI sends every message as a standard reply and does not use that tag.
Listing your Pages, messaging on the one you pick, and subscribing it to message events. Nothing touches your personal profile.
Page messages only: what it does not read
The private Messenger conversations people open with your Page are what RevoplyAI answers. Comments under your posts are never read and never answered. We request three permissions from Facebook and subscribe your Page to message events alone, so comments cannot reach us at all. If you are looking for a tool that answers comments, or DMs everyone who left a keyword comment, this product is not it.
Certain message types are deliberately left alone as well. An emoji reaction on a message is ignored, since there is nothing in it to answer. Files, videos and locations receive a brief reply stating that the assistant cannot open them, never an invented answer, and a single setting can route those conversations directly to your team instead.
Messenger auto reply without building a single flow
Most Messenger bots get built rather than trained. You open a canvas, sketch a greeting, place three buttons, connect each button to a reply, and keep going until the diagram covers what you imagine customers will ask. For a scripted campaign where every step is known, that works well. The first time someone types a question nobody drew, it falls apart.
Here you will find no canvas. Your price list, policies and hours go to the assistant as plain text, and from them it answers. When word-for-word replies are genuinely needed, like your bank details or a location pin, instant replies send fixed text on a keyword. On Pro and Business that is a rule list, not a diagram.
| Criterion | Meta's automated responses | Flow builder | RevoplyAI |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you set up | Fixed texts | Every path, by hand | Your business information |
| An unexpected question | No answer | Falls back to a menu | Answers, or hands over |
| Arabic dialects | Only what you wrote | Only what you wrote | Understood and answered |
| Handing over to a person | Manual | A branch you build | Built in, with the reason recorded |
Meta's 24-hour window, and what it means for your team
Messenger enforces a rule that WhatsApp users will recognise. Once a customer writes to your Page, the business has 24 hours to respond with a normal message, and after the window closes Meta rejects ordinary replies. Every message RevoplyAI sends leaves as a standard reply inside that window, which never troubles the assistant: it answers within seconds.
Where it matters is the human takeover. If your team steps into a conversation on Monday morning that the customer opened on Saturday, Meta rejects the reply. A Human Agent tag from Meta does extend manual replies to seven days, yet we do not send with it. The practical rule is therefore simple: answer a Messenger conversation the same day the assistant hands it over.
Taking over a Messenger conversation
Take over by opening the conversation in the RevoplyAI inbox and pressing Take over. The assistant then stops replying to that customer, and on Messenger the stop carries no timer: it will not slip back into the conversation an hour later or the next morning. When you are done, press Resume AI. Meanwhile every other conversation keeps receiving answers.
One detail is Facebook-specific. RevoplyAI cannot see a reply you type in your Page's own inbox or in Meta Business Suite. It never appears in the thread, it never pauses the assistant, and the assistant will go on answering that customer. Answer from the RevoplyAI inbox instead, or press Take over first.
With your permission, the assistant hands over on its own too: when the customer requests a person, when your knowledge base lacks the answer, when the request needs a staff member to act, or when the customer is upset. Every handover records its reason, so whoever picks it up understands why it reached them.
Messenger and Instagram: two connections, one inbox
The Messenger connection runs through Facebook. Sign in, approve the three permissions, and pick the Page from a list. Confirming the Page is required even when you own just one, since connecting it starts an assistant that answers real customers. A phone works as well as a computer.
Instagram connects separately, and a Facebook Page is no longer needed for it at all: you sign in with Instagram itself. After both are connected, their conversations share one inbox with WhatsApp, Telegram and your website chat, complete with labels, notes and assignment. There is one practical limit: a Facebook Page answers into a single RevoplyAI account at a time, so linking it to a second account cuts it off from the first.
Arabic, voice notes and photos
Whatever language the customer writes in, the assistant replies in it, and it follows along when they switch. Gulf, Egyptian and Levantine phrasing is understood, while search across your knowledge base is Arabic-aware, so a dialect question still reaches an answer written in formal Arabic.
On every plan, voice notes up to two minutes are transcribed and answered. Photo reading is available on Pro and Business, which covers the customer who sends a screenshot of your post with nothing but "price?" written under it.
A Page message on a Friday evening
مرحبا، هل تتوفر عندكم دورة إنجليزي للمبتدئين؟ وكم تكلفتها؟
20:41أهلاً بك! نعم، دورة المبتدئين تمتد 8 أسابيع بواقع حصتين في الأسبوع، ورسومها 1,200 ريال والكتب مشمولة.
20:41Do you have an evening group?
20:43Yes, the evening group gathers Sunday and Tuesday, 7 to 9 pm, and the next intake begins on 5 October. Shall I send your name to our registration team?
20:43Schedule, fee and course length are all drawn from the institute's own knowledge base, while registration goes to a person because the institute wants it that way.
What people actually message a Facebook Page
- كم السعر؟
- Are you open today?
- وين موقعكم بالضبط؟
- Do you have a slot this week?
- هل يوجد توصيل؟
- What documents do I need to register?
- أبغى أكلم موظف
- A screenshot of your post, with "this one?"
Messages like these come in at every hour, and each one usually has a single correct answer. An assistant handles exactly that part well, so the honest promise is most of your Page inbox, not all of it.
How to set up a Messenger chatbot for your Page
Connect your Facebook Page
From Messaging Channels, switch on Facebook Messenger, hit Continue with Facebook, accept the three permissions and select your Page. The account you use must administer that Page.
Give the AI your business information
Opening hours, prices, services and policies. Nothing but what you provide goes into an answer, so the assistant neither invents replies nor promises anything you cannot deliver.
Test it from another account
Message your Page from another Facebook account and follow the reply as it lands in Messenger and in your inbox. Your own account cannot serve for the test, since a Page cannot message itself.
What the Messenger assistant handles
Replies in seconds, at any hour
Messages sent on weekends or in the evening are answered while the customer still has the phone in hand.
Your information only
Answers are drawn solely from your prices, policies and hours, with no generic guesswork about your business.
Handover with a reason
A person requested, information missing, staff action needed, an upset customer: the reason gets recorded and your team gets notified.
Voice notes and photos
Every plan covers voice notes, and Pro and Business add photos.
Bookings in the chat
On Pro and Business, free slots from your calendar are offered by the assistant, which then confirms the booking inside Messenger.
One inbox for five channels
Messenger shares one inbox with WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and your website chat, including labels, notes and assignment.
Messenger chatbot: frequently asked questions
How do I add a Facebook Messenger chatbot to my Page?
Sign up for a free RevoplyAI account, go to Messaging Channels, switch on Facebook Messenger and log in with the Facebook account that administers your Page. Accept the three permissions, select the Page, and then load your business information into the knowledge base. No code is involved and no flow needs building.
Can it reply to comments on my Facebook posts?
No. Messenger conversations alone get answers. The connection subscribes to message events rather than your Page's feed, which means comments are neither read nor answered.
Is Messenger included on the free plan?
Yes. Plans do not gate channels, so even the free Basic plan can connect a Page. The paid plans (Starter $9, Pro $29, Business $59 a month) raise volume, and Pro brings photo reading, appointment booking and instant replies.
Does the Messenger auto reply work outside Meta's 24-hour window?
The assistant never has to, since it responds within seconds of the customer's message. The window concerns your team instead: every message goes out as a standard reply, and Meta's Human Agent tag is not used, so whoever takes over should answer within 24 hours of the customer's last message.
What happens if I reply from Meta Business Suite instead?
Replies typed in Meta Business Suite or in your Page's own inbox are invisible to RevoplyAI. They never show up in the RevoplyAI thread and they never pause the assistant. To answer a customer yourself, press Take over in the RevoplyAI inbox and reply from there.
Can I connect Instagram at the same time?
Instagram is its own connection. You log in with Instagram directly, no Facebook Page required, and its messages arrive in the same inbox as Messenger.
Can it book appointments in Messenger?
Yes, on Pro and Business. Free slots from your booking calendar are offered by the assistant, and it confirms the appointment inside the conversation, along with a reference the customer can use to reschedule.
Answer your Page messages while the customer is still waiting
Link your Facebook Page, hand the AI your prices and policies, and let it take the questions that come in after hours. Free plan, no credit card.
