Q: Are there any visibility settings for messaging inbox and the Messenger integration?
Pipedrive's Messenger integration offers two visibility settings: private and shared mode.
- Private: If the user who installed the app sets the visibility settings as private, this means that only they will see conversations in the messaging inbox, receive new messages and can reply to conversations. Additionally, only they can link conversations to contacts, leads, or deals. Note that all conversations automatically synced with contacts, leads, or deals may be visible to other users, depending on their permissions.
- Shared: If the user who installed the app sets the visibility settings as shared, any other user can access and reply to conversations in the messaging inbox and receive new messages. They can also link conversations to contacts, leads, or deals. However, all conversations automatically synced with contacts, leads, or deals will be visible to other users depending on their permissions.
Q: Who can I send messages to when using Facebook Messenger and Pipedrive messaging inbox?
Due to its spamming policy, Facebook doesn't allow businesses to initiate conversations with its followers or prospects. Instead, and like most other messaging apps, it requires customers to send the first message. Luckily, Facebook provides plenty of opportunities for your prospects to contact your business via Messenger.
