Set Up Shared Inbox with Facebook Messenger (Customer Engagement)

DEADLINE: As of February 3, 2025, United States carriers have blocked 100% of unregistered outbound SMS due to a government-mandated regulation to prevent spam. Register now to avoid further service disruption. GoTo Connect cannot expedite the carrier’s review timeline.

Connect your Shared Inbox to Facebook Messenger to reach more customers, gather rich data for analysis and growth, and optimize performance by enabling conversations to be handled in one central place.

Before you begin: You must be set up as a user and be assigned the admin role. Make sure you have a Facebook account with at least one business page. Visit https://www.facebook.com/help if you need help with your account setup, login, or pages

Sign in to our GoTo desktop/ web app.
Go to Engage > Shared Inbox > Channels > Facebook & Instagram. Then select Connect Account.

Note: If you have previously linked Facebook to your shared inbox, it will say Manage.
From the pop-up window:
1. Sign in to Facebook if you are setting this up for the first time. Otherwise, select Edit Settings.
2. Select the page(s) you want to connect to your shared inbox. If you see Create a page instead of a list of pages, it's because you do not have a Facebook page available. One will need to be created before you can continue.
3. Select Next.
4. Make sure all permissions are enabled. Removing any permission may break the integration.
5. Select Done > OK.
Result: This will take you back to your shared inbox settings page in the GoTo app. If it does not happen automatically, refresh the app to load the list of Facebook pages.
From Facebook Pages, enable a page to make it available in the shared inbox.

Note: You can connect multiple pages to your shared inbox if desired.
Select Save when you are finished.

What to do next: Ensure your agents know how to use the shared inbox to respond to incoming Facebook messenger inquires.
