The challenge
Messenger lived in separate apps, so messages slipped through.
Businesses on Messenger often juggle multiple apps to manage conversations, which leads to missed messages, slower responses and inconsistent support.
- 01Agents losing track of Messenger messages across separate apps
- 02No central analytics for Messenger performance
- 03Time wasted toggling between dashboards
- 04No tagging or assignment in native Messenger

How I approached it
The solution
From connecting a Facebook page to threading, tagging and assigning Messenger conversations, everything stays inside one familiar inbox.
Outcome
Messenger became a first-class channel in Tawk.to, managed with the same tools teams already knew.
The design goal was to make a new channel feel unremarkable in the best way: Messenger slots into the existing inbox with tagging, assignment and history, so agents never think about which tool they are in. It shipped into the live product.
