Quick answerMeta allows Messenger automation for Facebook Pages on its official Messenger Platform. Pages can reply to people who messaged them within 24 hours, send one private reply to each comment within 7 days, and use four message tags for specific updates outside the window. Cold messages, personal profiles and groups are not allowed.
