# Facebook User Interaction

> Configure the persistent menu, Get Started button, commands, and conversation sync for Messenger.

## What is this?

Facebook Interaction is where you configure how your connected Facebook Page's Messenger experience behaves — the persistent menu, the Get Started welcome screen, Messenger slash commands, and importing existing conversations into the platform.

## What can I do here?

**Persistent Menu tab**

* Add up to 5 menu items (Facebook's recommended limit) as **Postback** or **Web URL** actions via **Add Item**
* Edit or delete existing menu items (pencil / trash icons)
* View configured items in a table: Item, Title, Type, Action / URL, Actions

**Welcome Screen tab**

* Open the **Get Started Payload** row to configure the postback payload sent to your webhook when a user taps Messenger's Get Started button
* Save the payload to enable Get Started, or **Disable** to turn it off
* See its current status (Enabled / Disabled) at a glance

**Commands tab**

* Add, edit, or delete Messenger slash commands (a name of 1–32 characters and a description of 1–64 characters, up to 100 commands) via **Add Command**
* View all commands in a table: Command, Description, Actions

**Conversation Sync tab**

* **Queue Sync** to import Facebook Messenger conversations into the platform in small background batches, continuing from the last sync cursor
* **Reset & Sync** to start a fresh sync from scratch
* **Refresh** to check the current sync status
* Review sync stats: Conversations processed, Contacts upserted, Messages created, Messages skipped, Errors
* See the sync status (idle / queued / running / completed / failed) and its Requested, Started, and Completed timestamps
