- Which channels does ChatResponder support?
- Instagram DMs and comments, Facebook Messenger, SMS via Twilio, Telegram, and an embeddable website chat widget. Every channel lands in the same inbox and can run the same visual flows.
- Do I need Meta App Review to try it?
- No. Web chat works immediately. Instagram and Messenger work in development mode for people with a role on your Meta app. App Review Advanced Access is required before customers who are not testers can connect their Pages.
- What is the 24-hour messaging window?
- Meta only lets you message someone within 24 hours of their last message, unless the send genuinely fits a message tag. ChatResponder enforces that on every outbound message — flows, broadcasts, sequences, and API or MCP sends. People outside the window are skipped, not failed. Marketing tags are never applied by default.
- What happens after the 14-day trial?
- New workspaces get Pro features for 14 days with no card required. After that they drop to Free (50 contacts, 1 channel) unless you subscribe to Pro or Business.
- Can I take over from the bot?
- Yes. Open Live Chat, click Take over, and reply as yourself. The flow pauses for that conversation. You can hand it back when you are done.
- Can an AI agent operate my workspace?
- Yes. Settings → API keys creates a scoped bearer key for the REST API or the MCP server. Sending goes through the same rules as the dashboard — including the 24-hour window. An API key is never treated as Meta’s human agent.
