Complete Guide to Enabling Facebook Live Support and Inbox Simultaneously on DMflow

Facebook Messenger supports a feature called “Pass Thread Control,” which allows you to transfer conversation control to another application. The most common use case is handing over the current conversation to the inbox system within Meta Business Suite.
