How to Set Autoreply on Facebook Page

Do you own a Facebook page as a storefront or a page that serves as a customer service interface? Then you probably receive a lot of messages all the time. If your page has thousands or tens of thousands of fans/followers, the number of messages will pile up.

Rather than let enquirers wait without knowing if you are looking into their question or issue, it’s probably a good idea to setup an autoreply for the page.

To cater to this, Facebook has provided a built-in option that allows page admins to create a predefined message which can be sent as an autoreply whenever someone sends a PM to your facebook page.
