Quick answerTo generate leads on Facebook with Messenger, post an offer with a keyword ("comment PRICE"), send the commenter a Messenger reply with the offer, then ask for an email or phone number in the chat. The same flow works for click-to-Messenger ads, which start a chat that your welcome message picks up.

Organic: the comment-to-Messenger funnel

  1. Post an offer with a clear keyword: "Comment PRICE for this week's deals."
  2. Comment to DM sends the offer in Messenger.
  3. The next message asks for an email or phone: "Want first dibs next week?"
  4. Leads are saved with the post that brought them in. Export to CSV.

A click-to-Messenger ad opens a chat with your Page. The person's first message triggers your welcome automation, which can answer, qualify and ask for contact details. Set the ad's prefilled question to match a keyword so the right reply fires.
