Facebook Messenger enables sharing messages, images, and media between Facebook and Instagram users, including creating rooms and making payments. Avaya Oceana® supports end-users interacting with the Contact Center through Facebook Messenger.

Note:

The support does not extend to the public messages posted to a business page. For more information on public social media, contact Avaya Support Services. Avaya Oceana® does not support end-users messaging through Instagram to a Facebook Messenger business account.
