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?
No — Meta requires the user to initiate contact before business accounts can DM them via the Graph API.
