Messenger gives customers a fast and convenient way to get in touch with your business. While they can schedule appointments and ask questions about your services, you can build personal connections with your customers.
Click-to-Messenger ads invite your audience to start a conversation with you in Messenger. Clicking on your ad's CTA will open Messenger. This ad type can be displayed in Facebook's desktop feed, mobile feed, or in Messenger itself.
When you create a Messenger ad campaign, you can set up either a welcome message to greet users who click on your ads, or, upload or paste a JSON file template message. These can include text, images, or action items, and enable you to connect a bot for quick replies.
To create ads that appear in users' Messenger Home tab, see this article.
