Facebook Messenger Workflows for Customer Service and Sales

By Alva Chew 4 min read Updated October 30, 2026

Your customers message you on Facebook Messenger. AeroChat answers there and does the work behind each conversation in the systems you already use: your CRM, calendar, store, booking system or accounts. Each workflow below shows the flow, a recipe to copy into AeroChat, the systems it connects to and the Facebook Messenger rules that apply.
