Make sure, that this option is enabled, otherwise people won't be able to message you through Messenger.

### 2. Turn OFF automated responses

Facebook offers basic automation options for every page. To avoid interference with the automation offered by Bonomi, you need to make sure to disable Facebook's own automated responses. Under the page settings, select the Messaging tab, then scroll down to the "Set up automated responses" option. Click on Set Up.

### 3. Enable Greetings on your page

If you'd like to increase the number of conversations started with your page, you should enable the "**Show Greeting**" option also. This will automatically triggers a pop-up for every user who visits your page. There's an option which allows you to change the greeting message from Facebook's default.
