Don’t panic! The changes Messenger by Facebook recently implemented to its Terms of Service are designed to make it better. Understanding what these changes are is the key to ensuring your business’s messages continue to stand out and deliver results. Toby Awalt, Manychat’s Product Marketing Manager, walks Manychatters through the changes and how they can be used to drive sales.
