chatstaff with Messenger
Facebook Page Messenger is a first-class channel: AI, catalogue, human handoff.

For a shop that sells on Messenger, chatstaff is the person who answers first. The customer writes to the number they already saved, in Albanian, the way they write to a shop. chatstaff reads the question, searches the catalogue you uploaded and answers about the product, the price, the colour, the size or the delivery. It is not one ready-made message for every question. The answer comes from your shop's data.
When the customer picks a product, chatstaff shows the card: photo, name and price, inside the chat. If a catalogue is connected to Messenger, the card goes as a product message; otherwise it goes as a photo with a caption. The customer does not leave the chat to search another site. If they ask for something that is not in the catalogue, chatstaff says so and does not invent a product.
The order is not confirmed by itself. chatstaff collects the name, the city, the delivery and the products, then leaves a draft for the team. A person looks at it, changes it if needed and confirms it. The customer is told the order was passed to staff, not that it is closed. No payment is taken in the chat.
When the question is outside what it knows, or the customer asks for a person, the chat moves to staff with the history. chatstaff stays quiet in that chat until someone returns it. The team sees the same thread in the panel. A small shop can cover the hours when nobody is by the phone, without leaving the customer unanswered.
- Page messages in the same inbox.
- Product recommendations and draft orders.
- Team control when needed.
Concrete example
Customer: “Do you have a WiFi yard camera, and can it arrive tomorrow in Durrës?” chatstaff searches the catalogue, finds the camera and answers with the price in the catalogue currency. Then it sends the product card and asks if they want it on an order.
The customer says yes and gives a name and address. chatstaff prepares the draft: product, city, cash on delivery. A new, unconfirmed order appears in the panel. chatstaff tells the customer that staff will confirm it. If they ask “are you a robot?”, the answer is plain: it is the shop's virtual assistant.
A customer asks on Messenger about delivery. chatstaff answers from business policy.
Illustrative example
What you need to connect
From the panel choose Connect with Facebook and grant the Page. Each Page you approve gets its own channel. If Instagram is linked to that Page, it connects in the same step.
- Facebook Page and Meta Business.
- Page connected to the app.
Important limits
chatstaff does not take payment and does not close the order itself. The draft waits for the team. Outside 24 hours from the customer's last message, WhatsApp does not allow free text: an approved message template is required, for example when an order moves to confirmed or fulfilled. Without a payment method on the WhatsApp account, those off-window messages are not sent.
chatstaff does not promise stock you have not chosen to track, and it does not quote prices that are not in the catalogue. TikTok is not a ready channel. Voice, video and documents the customer sends are not read; photos are.
- The reply window follows Meta rules.
- No in-chat payments.
