Last updated: 3 November 2026 In this guide 1. Option 1: Meta's free auto reply 2. Option 2: keyword bots 3. Option 3: an AI that answers from your catalog 4. Which option should you use? 5. Questions [← All guides](https://omniconva.com/guides) When a buyer messages your Page and waits, they often buy from the next Page instead. There are three ways to reply automatically: Meta's free auto reply, keyword bots, and an AI agent that reads your catalog. This guide shows how to set up each one and when each is enough. ## 1Option 1: Meta's free auto reply Meta Business Suite can send one fixed greeting to everyone who messages your Page for the first time. It costs nothing and takes two minutes. 1. On a computer, open Meta Business Suite at business.facebook.com and choose your Page. 2. Open **Inbox**, then **Automations**. 3. Click **Create automation**, then choose **Auto reply**. 4. Write your greeting and follow the on-screen steps. Ready-made texts are in our [message samples guide](https://omniconva.com/guides/facebook-page-auto-reply-message-samples). 5. Make sure its **Status** toggle is on, then message your Page from another account to test it. TipUnder the same **Create automation** you can also set an **Away message** for after hours, and **Frequently asked questions** that show as buttons.

They work well for fixed menus. But buyers write “koto”, “dam koto”, “price plz” or just send a photo, so you end up maintaining long keyword lists, and anything unexpected gets no useful answer. ## 3Option 3: an AI that answers from your catalog An AI sales agent reads the question the way a person would. OmniConva answers in Bangla, Banglish or English from your own products, prices and rules, recognises a product from a photo, and writes the cash-on-delivery order in the chat. When it isn't sure, it hands the chat to your team instead of guessing. 1. [Create a free account](https://dashboard.omniconva.com/signup); the free plan includes 100 AI credits a month. 2.
