# Configure Facebook Messenger

Configure Facebook Messenger as a consumer messaging channel within ServiceNow Customer Service Management \(CSM\). Enabling Facebook Messenger as a channel lets customers start support conversations. Those conversations route to service agents, who manage them in the CRM Workspace.

Here's an example of a customer service journey for Wi-Fi router troubleshooting showing Facebook Messenger integration with omnichannel.

A customer contacts the router manufacturer through Facebook Messenger because a new laptop can't connect to the home Wi-Fi. CSM matches the Facebook ID to the customer account when available in the system and creates a Messaging interaction. When the user is not logged in, a live agent does a lookup and verifies in the CRM Workspace to link the customer account. Virtual Agent asks the customer to select the product, then suggests relevant knowledge articles for Wi-Fi troubleshooting. The customer follows an article and reconnects the laptop, so CSM logs the interaction as resolved and closes the chat. If the issue continues, the customer can escalate to a live agent, who receives the account history, device details, and the articles already reviewed.
