Inside of the 24-hour messaging window, you can simply chat with the chat users in BotStar Inbox without moving to the Facebook Messenger. To help you distinguish between the sent message and the delivered message, we have a small icon next to your message as being shown in the below picture:
- Delivered message: Message has been successfully delivered to the chat users Inbox, but it doesn't mean that chat users read it.
- Sent message: Message has been successfully sent from your end.
Outside of the 24-hour window, a Message Content box will appear at the bottom of the conversation. This box allows you to choose one of four Message Tag types (including Event Update, Post Purchase Update, Account Update, and Human-Agent or the One-Time Notification topics to send messages to chat users. These messages enable sending important and personally relevant 1:1 updates to users outside the standard messaging window.
