How to Change Conversation Starter Message in Facebook Messenger (via Chatku AI)

What is a Conversation Starter Message?

  • When someone visits your Facebook Page and presses the Message button, they will see a set of recommended questions or prompts known as Icebreakers or Conversation Starters.
  • These are set by default by Meta but can be customized using Chatku AI.

Step-by-Step Guide to Change Conversation Starter Message

1. Login to Chatku AI

  • Access your Chatku AI Dashboard > Your Facebook Bot.

2. Navigate to Icebreakers Settings

  • Open the Settings tab.
  • Look for Facebook settings specifically.
  • Under Facebook settings, locate Icebreakers.

3. Edit Icebreakers (Conversation Starters)

  • If the Icebreakers section is currently empty, it means no custom conversation starters are set.
  • Click Edit to add your own conversation starters.

4. Add a New Conversation Starter

  • In the Icebreaker field, type your desired starter message.\ Example: “I would like to know more about your products”.
  • Link this message to a Flow you’ve created in Chatku AI.
  • You can set up multiple Icebreakers if needed.

5. Save Your Changes

  • After setting up your conversation starter(s) and linking them to the relevant flows, click Save.

6. Testing the Setup

  • To test the new conversation starters:
  • Visit your Facebook Page.
  • Delete any existing conversation in Messenger (if you’ve messaged the page before).
  • Press the Message button.
  • You should see the new Icebreaker Messages appear.
  • Click one of the Icebreakers — it should trigger the linked flow in Messenger.

Important Notes

  • Deleting Old Chats: Always delete old conversations before testing, as Facebook caches the previous flow.
  • Meta Policy: Ensure the messages comply with Facebook’s guidelines for business messaging.
  • Language Support: You can set different icebreakers for different languages if your page supports multiple languages.
