Communicating with customers via Facebook Messenger is becoming increasingly popular, but keeping up with every inquiry and providing a timely response requires lots of attention from your staff.

With ManyChat, you can automate your communication to provide a better experience for your customers. Instead of manually following up on every message, you can set up a bot to automate responses for popular topics like pricing, technical issues or sales inquiries. For everything the bot can’t answer, ManyChat's Live Chat tool will allow your staff to view and engage customers directly, so every encounter gets the attention it needs.

Now that ManyChat integrates with Zapier, you can incorporate 1,000 other web tools into your Facebook Messenger and customer communication workflows.
