What Are Facebook Messenger Chatbots?
First, let’s understand what are chatbots? These are automated programs which can help you respond instantly to any message that comes into your Facebook Page inbox.
You can program various types of responses based on what people type into the messenger chat box.
This will not only help you increase your response time on your Fan Pages but you will also see a high open rate.
The first glaring difference you will notice is that people open messages on Facebook messenger more than email.
While the industry average of email open rates is a mere 33%, messenger open rates go up to 80% or more.

Great blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost
on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go

Any tips? Thanks a lot!
