Organizing your Facebook inbox can help you save time and respond to the right users at a reasonable pace. So how can you organize it to improve efficiency?<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the most efficient way to organize my Facebook inbox?<\/h2>\n<p>Right off the bat, you might be used to relying on Facebook Business Manager to answer your customers&#8217; messages.<\/p>\n<p>When you use Facebook Business Manager, there are a few ways you can tag a conversation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7489 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/facebook-messenger-organize-0.png\" alt=\"organize Facebook inbox\" width=\"656\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The tags that Facebook uses to help you organize your Inbox allow you to delete a conversation, mark it as &#8220;<strong>spam<\/strong>&#8220;, &#8220;<strong>unread<\/strong>&#8220;, and &#8220;<strong>to follow<\/strong> <strong>up<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>When your conversation with a customer might require additional help, you can mark it as to follow up. However, this just leaves a star next to their name in your inbox, <strong>without a filter by itself.<\/strong> This means that <strong>you won&#8217;t be able to find the exact conversations<\/strong> that need to be reviewed unless you scroll through your inbox to find it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7483 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image10-1024x506.png\" alt=\"Sotrender moderation overview\" width=\"654\" height=\"323\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using <a href=\"https:\/\/lp.sotrender.com\/facebook-moderation-in-sotrender\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener\"><strong>Sotrender\u2019s social inbox<\/strong><\/a>, you can organize your messages into four categories (the whole <strong>inbox<\/strong>, <strong>unread<\/strong>, <strong>to review<\/strong>, and <strong>done<\/strong>). In general, the main Messenger area is just called \u201cInbox\u201d. Here is what the main page looks like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7491\" style=\"width: 445px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7491\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/facebook-messenger-inbox-overview-0.png\" alt=\"Sotrender organize inbox\" width=\"435\" height=\"531\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7491\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Social inbox in Sotrender<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will see that there are three unopened conversations. The conversations also appear on the \u201c<strong>unread<\/strong>\u201d tab. The number in blue indicates the number of new messages within a conversation with one user.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7493\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sotrender-mark-conversation-as-0.png\" alt=\"organize my facebook inbox with filters in sotrender\" width=\"624\" height=\"216\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you open a conversation, it will no longer be marked as \u201cunread\u201d. If you\u2019ve messaged the user and feel like the conversation was adequately handled, you can mark the conversation as \u201cdone\u201d. <strong>Now you and the others managing the Page won\u2019t have to worry about messaging this user back.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, you might run into a situation where you have to come back to deal with a matter at a later time. For example, <strong>you must provide the user with\u00a0information that will require time to gather<\/strong>. Simply mark the conversation as \u201cto review\u201d so you and other moderators can quickly come back to the user when you\u2019re ready. All it takes is clicking on the tab to filter out the other messages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7495 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/sotrender-mark-as-to-review-0-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"655\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, you can always change the conversation tags or remove them according to your needs. The same rules apply to organizing your users\u2019 comments on your Facebook page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7497\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/image10-1-1024x506.png\" alt=\"organize my facebook inbox in sotrender\" width=\"651\" height=\"322\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now you know how to organize your Facebook inbox better with the help of Sotrender\u2019s tool!
