The click-to-Messenger ads introduced by Facebook are now available for Instagram users. Now you can start conversations directly from the place.
The new Instagram ad placement for click-to-Messenger ads began rolling out to businesses on Wednesday and would be available to all businesses “within the next few months,” Facebook said, adding that more information is available in its developer docs and Ads Help Center.
Click to Messenger ads can be image, video or carousel ads, and they’re available in Ads Manager, Power Editor and the API.
How it works?
When someone clicks on the ad, it opens a conversation with your business. People will be sent to your Messenger content, which includes all the text, image and video messages that you set up when you created the ad.
