Here&#8217;s a quick guide to Messages from a friend, page, or business. It&#8217;s easy to get confused as to what messages to read and which ones to ignore. Read on to find out how to inbox someone on Facebook in just three simple steps. You can also check out our guide to unsubscribe from a page.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Messages_from_a_business\"><\/span>Messages from a business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the new dedicated inbox for business messages, Facebook has rolled out an option for business page owners to reply to customers directly. This option is available on both personal and business Facebook pages. Business owners can choose to reply to customers using their business name or as themselves. In a recent poll, nearly 90% of respondents said that &#8220;immediate&#8221; response to their questions was important to them. Additionally, consumers are increasingly asking questions on Facebook, such as whether a store is open or if they offer curbside pickup.<\/p>\n<p>While most people will respond to a message by typing their response, you can also create a form response and send it out quickly. This option lets you save previous replies for quick reply. Creating and personalizing these replies will help you establish rapport with your customers. If you get the same question repeatedly, consider using the Facebook feature that lets you &#8220;save&#8221; a reply. This will make it easier for you to respond quickly when a customer asks you a question.<\/p>\n<p>Inboxing messages is also important for a business page. Messages can flood a business&#8217;s inbox, which can lead to a loss of potential customers. Rather than miss out on customers&#8217; inquiries, it is best to reply quickly to each message sent to the page. This way, they&#8217;ll get the message inboxed before your competitors. Besides, people expect businesses to respond quickly to their questions. With Missive, businesses can respond to every message within 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Messages_from_a_friend\"><\/span>Messages from a friend<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How do I know if I have an unread message from a friend on Facebook? Most of the time, messages that come to you are unread unless the recipient explicitly selects &#8220;read&#8221; in their privacy settings. It is possible to pay Facebook to send messages directly to your inbox, but you won&#8217;t know unless the recipient explicitly selects &#8220;read.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Open the Facebook app and click on the Hamburg icon on the top right. Choose &#8220;Messages&#8221; from the drop-down menu. You can also select a page, like a &#8220;New Messages&#8221; page, and click &#8220;Send New Message.&#8221; Then, type your message in the text box and press Enter. A chat window will open with your friend&#8217;s name and message. When the recipient opens the message, they can read it.<\/p>\n<p>To write a message to someone you&#8217;ve never messaged before, you first need to turn on person-to-person chat. Then, simply type your message in the message window and press &#8220;Enter&#8221; to send it. Alternatively, you can just write a message to someone else and use the &#8220;Notify&#8221; function to forward the message. In the next few steps, you&#8217;ll be able to send a message to anyone in your list.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Messages_from_a_page\"><\/span>Messages from a page<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to inbox messages from a page? As the page administrator, you can create automated responses that will respond to comments and messages. These responses are fully customizable for the page admin, your customers, and even your website. The most popular response is &#8216;Hello&#8217;, which you can use to respond to every comment. Here are a few other ways to respond to comments and messages from your page.<\/p>\n<p>You can customize your replies to customers and build a rapport with them by putting your signature on them. Moreover, you&#8217;ll probably get the same questions from customers again, so Facebook provides a feature called &#8220;Saved Replies&#8221; that will help you respond quickly to most questions. If you&#8217;re unsure how to do this, simply create a signature for your replies and start answering messages immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve configured your business pages with messaging, you can send private messages to your fans from within the Facebook platform. If you&#8217;re using a mobile device, you can do so by downloading the Facebook Messenger app and installing it on your device. From there, you can visit the Facebook website and click &#8220;Pages&#8221; in the left menu. Click on the Page you want to message and click the &#8220;Send Message&#8221; button below the cover photo. Type your message and press &#8220;Enter&#8221; to send it.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qn_E2JSEfOQ\" width=\"372\" height=\"208\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Inbox Someone on Facebook in 3 Easy Steps If you are wondering how to inbox someone on Facebook, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
