Human Agent Handoff & Unified Inbox

Messenger messages now appear in your Live Support unified inbox alongside website widget and other platform conversations. Each conversation shows a Messenger badge so you always know the source platform.
When replying to Messenger conversations from the dashboard, be aware of Facebook’s 24-hour messaging window. Messages sent more than 24 hours after the customer’s last message will be blocked with a clear error message.
How agent replies work:
  1. Go to Live Support in your dashboard
  2. Find the Messenger conversation (look for the 📘 badge)
  3. Click to open and type your reply
  4. Your message is sent directly to the customer’s Messenger
  5. The AI remains paused while you’re active in the conversation
The AI resumes automatically when you leave the conversation.

FAQ

For testing with your own Facebook account, no review is needed. For production use where non-admin users interact with the bot, you may need to submit your Facebook App for review with the pages_messaging permission.
Currently, each website connects to one Facebook Page. To connect multiple pages, you can create additional websites in your BubblaV dashboard, each connected to a different page.
Page access tokens obtained through OAuth don’t expire. If you lose access to your Page or the token becomes invalid, simply disconnect and reconnect through the integration settings.
The AI uses your website’s content to generate responses. To improve answer quality, ensure your website has comprehensive, up-to-date information. You can also add custom content through the Knowledge section.
Instagram DM uses the same Messenger API infrastructure. Support for Instagram is planned for a future update.
If the AI is unsure or the customer needs complex help, they can be escalated to a human agent. You’ll see all conversations in the Live Support dashboard and can jump in anytime.
