With this new integration, you can link your Facebook Messenger account with Zoho Desk and respond to customer queries on the popular IM platform.

From the above facts, we can see why Facebook Messenger is such a valuable tool for connecting with customers. Zoho Desk's integrations provide a seamless communications experience across multiple channels to help businesses respond promptly to inquiries from existing and prospective customers.
Instant Messaging integrations allow you to maintain all your business communications in one messaging module, so you don't have to move between messaging platforms to stay in touch with your customers.
How the Facebook Messenger integration works
A Facebook user reaches out to your business via Messenger. Your agents receive the message and seamlessly continue the conversation from Desk's Instant Messaging module without logging into Facebook.
