Prerequisites
- A Facebook Page with admin access
- For Instagram: an Instagram Professional or Business account linked to that Facebook Page
Setup
1
Connect with Facebook
Navigate to Settings > Integrations > Instagram or Messenger and click Connect with Facebook. Both channels use the same Meta OAuth flow — connecting one will prompt you to configure both.
2
Authorize and select your page
Select the Facebook Page you want to connect and grant the requested permissions.
3
Confirm
After authorization, the integration page will show your connected Facebook Page and Instagram account with confirmation checkmarks.
Channels
Once connected, Telemetron subscribes to:- Instagram DMs — direct messages create support cases
- Instagram post/ad comments — captured and can be replied to from the dashboard
- Instagram story mentions — create cases with replies sent via DM
- Facebook Messenger — conversations create support cases
- Facebook page post comments — captured and can be replied to from the dashboard
Messaging Limitations
Meta enforces restrictions on how and when you can respond:- 24-hour messaging window — you can only reply to a customer within 24 hours of their last message. After that, the window closes and you cannot send a message until they reach out again.
- Comment private replies have a 7-day window — you can reply privately (via DM) to a post comment within 7 days. You can only send one private reply per comment.
- Text and attachments can’t be sent together — if you need to send both, the attachment goes as a separate message.
- Tokens can expire — if the connection drops, reconnect by clicking Connect with Facebook again.
