To help you “do less, sell more”, Boutir has launched a new feature called “Facebook Chatbot”. As its name suggests, this can automatically reply to comments on a Facebook post or live video, and send a message to each commenter via Facebook Messenger based on keyword matching. This article will illustrate how to set up a Facebook Chatbot.

Please note that:

  • This feature only applies to merchants who are subscribing to our Business or Business PLUS service plan
