Shared by Product Team โ€ข May 01, 2025

Agents can now initiate a direct message (DM) with a user straight from public engagement threads using a simple shortcut button!

๐Ÿ”น Whatโ€™s New?

  • The โ€œsend a DMโ€ button appears next to the user interaction on public posts.
  • Clicking it opens the Start New Conversation popup with the userโ€™s details pre-filled.
  • Smart behavior: Button is only visible where DM is supported, and adjusts based on channel capabilities.
  • Dynamic states: Button disables if DM isnโ€™t possible and shows helpful tooltips on hover.

๐ŸŽฏ Why This Matters:

  • Faster transitions from public to private conversations.
  • Better customer service: Handle sensitive matters privately in a click.
  • Seamless UX across Facebook, Instagram, and X engagements.

Already live โ€” hover next to any public post and try it out! ๐Ÿš€
