Pages that you manage may be in the new Pages experience. Learn more about new Pages or see if your Page is in the classic or new Pages experience.
You'll need to be an admin of a classic Page or have full Facebook access to a new Page to turn messaging on or off for your Page.
When messaging is on, a moderator, editor or admin of a classic Page and people with Facebook and task access to a new Page can send a private message from the Page to anyone who's sent the Page a message. Private messages can also be used to respond to comments on a Page's post.
Note: Pages can respond to messages from a profile, but can’t start a chat with a profile that hasn’t messaged the Page first. Pages can't send messages to profiles or other Pages that have blocked the Page.
