Managing Facebook DMs is an essential part of building an engaged community. Responding to messages can make your audience feel valued, boost your all-important engagement rate, and reveal consumer insights that you wouldn't have otherwise discovered. But it can also take up a lot of time. 

As a social media manager, you don't want to miss out on valuable interactions, but you also can't afford to spend all day glued to your social media apps, juggling DMs for multiple clients or profiles. (And you shouldn't have to!)

That's why we're excited to announce our new feature: HeyOrca Facebook DMs

What are HeyOrca Facebook DMs? 

This feature allows Pro users to manage Facebook messages within the HeyOrca Social Inbox. You'll be able to see all incoming direct messages alongside comments and mentions. HeyOrca's Facebook DMs feature lets you respond, resolve, and engage – all from one place.
