There Are 3 New Message Tags for Facebook Messenger Bots

Developers can suggest new tags via a form Facebook introduced

Facebook released three additional message tags that developers can incorporate into Messenger bots.

The social network unveiled five new message tags for Messenger bots in July.

Facebook also introduced a suggestion form (pictured below), enabling developers to suggest names for tags, as well as to describe non-promotional use cases for those tags for sending messages to users beyond the 24-hour window mandated by the social network’s Messenger Platform policy.

The three message tags introduced Thursday, as described by technical program manager Vivien Tong in a blog post, are:

  • Account update: The ACCOUNT_UPDATE tag may only be used to confirm updates to a user’s account setting.
