Meta inbox 24-hour window playbook

Instagram and Facebook DMs follow Meta's 24-hour messaging window. After a user messages you, you have 24 hours to reply with promotional content.

DEEP Socials unified inbox surfaces DMs and comments in one view with sync status — so you never miss the window silently.

Best practice: enable AI reply suggestions for speed, but review before send on high-stakes conversations.

FAQ

Can I message followers first?
