Hi
These days we get a tons of mail and I am not talking about spam. More about services we use online and kids school and well you get the point.
Is there anyway that instead of getting an email when contacted on Sharetribe the user gets an FB-msg.
That way they dont miss it.
What do you think?
Regards
Emil
Seems pretty straightforward. I’d read the technical documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/quickstart (You’d also need to think about who the FB message is from.)
I implemented “send text messages” instead of email using Twilio in a couple of days.
One issue that you’ll run into is that the sharetribe messaging system isn’t really set up to handle replies other than through the web app. So if you send someone a FB message, the content will be “someone sent you a message on Sharetribe, click here to respond”, rather than the content of the message.
That’s actually good because if you do send the content of the message (which, in 5.6 was an easy change to make), then users will reply to the message, and expect that reply to go back to the message sender.
Hi Dan
Thanks for for your input. Great help.
