Why did they remove Ref URLs and Growth Tools?

Does anyone know why URLs and QR codes as a trigger went away. I can see just 4 months ago people were able to use them and this app is useless to me as only a social media tool.  I want to be able to get people on my list at networking events and speaking engagements and I don’t want them to find some random post and leave a comment just to do a quiz I spent time creating.  As we can see with TikTok all social media platforms are not promised to us and if one of them goes down our entire funnel can be broken. It feels like because they can collaborated with Meta they have changed the features to force you to only be on social media tool use them. I want the option to do both. I want to be able to text a link, include it in an email, create a QR code. Not everyone is on FG/IG and certainly not the other platforms. I focus on YouTube and putting a link in the description would be helpful since they don’t have DM options.  This is frustrating!

Hey, ​@Youngrichrooted 

They are available.

When you’re creating a new automation, you have these options:

Be aware that QR code option is only available in Facebook Messenger.

 

Let me know if that helped 🫡

Yes they are available. But are they functioning? That is the big question.

I saw it working, however, it is only a link that opens up the messenger website. Is there a way to really integrate the chatbot into a chat within the website?

Hey, ​@andytul. Can you share with us how you've built your automation?

 

@Fam Villalobos Chavarría The website widget was discontinued by Meta and there is no longer available. However, you can vote for it here:
