Compose Facebook Messenger Ads

Updated 

In Ads Composer, you can create a Facebook ad that will be placed in the Newsfeed to start more conversations within the Messenger platform. Messenger Ads help send people into conversations with your business, which will, in turn, help you drive the results that matter at scale. This will further enable your business to target the discovery of experiences on the Messenger platform.

A single tap or click on a Messenger Ad will take people to the Messenger chat with a detailed view and a Call to Action that will take them to the destination you chose during the ad creation process. You can use the same creative for Messenger that you are already using for Facebook and Instagram.

  2. On the Ads Composer window, select your Facebook Ad account.
