# Messenger AI agent for Facebook Page sellers: AI inbox and replies

> SaleMag's Messenger AI agent connects a Facebook Page to a shared team inbox for businesses in Bangladesh. The AI answers price, stock and delivery questions from your products and FAQs in Bangla, Banglish or English, takes cash-on-delivery orders through a secure order-form link, and hands the chat to a person when it cannot help.

- Connect one or more Facebook Pages with Facebook login; no developer needed.
- Messenger chats share one inbox with WhatsApp, Instagram and Telegram.
- SaleMag's AI agent answers only from your knowledge base and product list, not from guesses.
- Order taking works on Messenger; the customer gets a secure order-form link.
- The AI agent hands over to your team for complaints, bulk orders or when the customer asks for a person.
- SaleMag answers Messenger messages only; it does not reply to Facebook post comments.

For many sellers in Bangladesh, the Facebook Page is the shop. Ads and posts bring people in, and almost every sale starts with a Messenger message: "price?", "size ache?", "delivery charge koto?". During an Eid or 11.11 rush, those messages pile up faster than any team can answer. SaleMag puts your Page's Messenger chats into a [shared inbox](https://salemag.net/glossary/shared-inbox) and adds an AI agent that handles the repeat questions.

## What is a Messenger chatbot, and what does SaleMag's AI agent do?

A Messenger chatbot is software that replies to messages sent to a Facebook Page, so customers get answers without waiting for a person. SaleMag's Messenger AI agent combines a team inbox for your Page with an AI that answers from your own products and policies. The table shows each part:

| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Inbox | Every Messenger chat appears next to your WhatsApp, Instagram and Telegram chats |
| Team tools | Assign a chat, add labels and internal notes, use saved replies |
| AI agent | Answers from your knowledge base and product list |
| Order taking | Builds the cart and sends a secure order-form link |
| Handover | Passes the chat to a person and notifies your team |

Photos and other attachments the customer sends come into the thread, so your team sees the whole conversation in one place.

## How do I connect a Facebook Page to SaleMag?

You connect a Facebook Page to SaleMag by logging in with Facebook from **Channel Setup** and picking the Pages you manage. SaleMag stores the Page connection and subscribes it to Meta's webhooks, so new messages arrive in the inbox as they come in. You can connect more than one Page, which helps if you run separate Pages for clothing and cosmetics, for example.

## How does the Messenger AI agent answer customers?

SaleMag's [AI agent](https://salemag.net/solutions/ai-agent) answers Messenger customers from a knowledge base that you build, in the language the customer writes in. A knowledge base can hold:

- your product catalog, synced from Shopify, WooCommerce or BigCommerce, or added by hand
- text you type, such as delivery charges and return policy
- files (PDF, Word, Excel, CSV and others)
- web pages or a sitemap from your website
- question-and-answer pairs

The AI agent is instructed to state facts only from that material and the customer's own orders, so it does not invent a price, a policy or a phone number. A customer who writes "eta koto taka?" gets an answer in [Banglish](https://salemag.net/glossary/banglish), and one who writes in Bangla script gets Bangla.

The AI agent can also see the customer's last 3 orders, so "amar order ta kothay?" gets the status your team recorded instead of a guess.

## Can a Messenger AI agent take orders?

Yes. With SaleMag's [AI order taking](https://salemag.net/ai-agents/ai-order-taking) on, the Messenger AI agent looks up every product in your catalog before it quotes a price, builds the cart with sizes and colours, and then sends a secure order-form link. On the form the customer chooses a delivery area, such as Inside Dhaka or Outside Dhaka, enters name, phone and address, and places the order. Payment is [cash on delivery](https://salemag.net/glossary/cash-on-delivery).

Your team gets a numbered order, such as CH-000123, and a notification. The in-WhatsApp form is a WhatsApp feature; on Messenger the customer always gets the link.

## When does a person take over from the Messenger AI agent?

SaleMag's Messenger AI agent hands the chat to a person when it cannot answer, when the customer asks for one, or when the request needs judgement. With handover switched on, the AI agent stops and hands over when:

- it does not have the answer in its knowledge
- the customer asks for a human, agent or real person
- the request is a complaint, a bulk or wholesale order, a custom request, or a change to an order already placed

On [human handover](https://salemag.net/glossary/human-handover), the chat switches to human mode and your team is notified. The AI agent also stops auto-replying once a chat is assigned to a person. When anyone on your team replies, the AI agent stays quiet in that chat for 15 minutes, so two voices never answer at once.

## What Meta rules apply to a Messenger chatbot?

Meta's Messenger Platform lets a Facebook Page reply freely within 24 hours of the customer's last message, and limits what a Page can send after that. Plan your follow-ups for the same day the customer writes, and keep your Page in good standing with Meta's policies.

## Messenger AI agent vs Meta's automated replies: what is the difference?

Meta Business Suite's instant replies and FAQ buttons send the same fixed text every time, while SaleMag's AI agent reads the question, checks your products and policies, and answers that specific question. It also hands off when it should, and your team gets one [shared inbox](https://salemag.net/solutions/unified-inbox) for every channel instead of switching between apps.

## Get started

Connect your Page, add your top 20 products and your delivery charges, and link an AI agent. Read a week of conversations, then widen it. [Create an account](https://salemag.net/register) or see [pricing](https://salemag.net/pricing) for plans.
