Introducing Omni-Channel Support for Meta: ChatIn now supports Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp

We just shipped omni-channel support for Meta. Merchants can now connect Facebook Pages, Instagram professional accounts, and WhatsApp Business to ChatIn. Your AI agent can answer customer questions and keep the conversation consistent across channels—without switching tools.

What is Omni-Channel Support for Meta?

ChatIn integrates with your Meta assets so customers can reach you on their preferred channel while your team manages everything in one place. The same knowledge, tone, and policies you use on your storefront now apply to Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The goal is simple: faster answers, fewer tab switches, and a consistent brand experience.

Channels We Support Today

• Facebook Pages: DMs
• Instagram: DMs (professional accounts)
• WhatsApp Business: direct messages via your business number
• Storefront: ChatIn website chat widget

Why This Matters

• Single AI inbox: one place to manage social and site conversations
• Consistent answers: one knowledge base across all channels
• Faster response: automated first replies
• Conversation continuity: context travels with the customer
• Lower overhead: no need to maintain separate bots per channel

How It Works in ChatIn

All messages from Meta channels appear in ChatIn with the same structure as your storefront chat. The AI agent uses your configured knowledge, policies, and product data.
