I am loosing sales! Just because I cannot reply manually to him. At some point I have to take chat manually. Why I am not being able to reply?

Hi, @vishalsen!

 

This happens because of Meta's 24h rule.

It works like this:

  • The contact send you a message (or interacts with a automation reply) = A 24h window opens
  • During this 24h window you can chat with your contacts normally
  • If your contact doesn't respond or interact with you in 24h, the window closes
  • To send any message outside the 24h windows, you must usa a Message Template (it must be approved by Meta and has a cost to send)

In short words, you must use a Message Template if you wish to send anything outside the 24h window.
