    Why Does Your Business Need Social Media CRM?

    In Georgia, 85% of internet users are active on Facebook or Instagram. Every day, thousands of people message businesses in comments, DMs, and Messenger - but most businesses lose these leads.

    Social Media CRM is a system that connects Facebook, Instagram, and other social platforms to a unified CRM, so that every message, comment, and lead is automatically processed.

    Facebook CRM Integration

    Facebook Messenger Integration

    FollowUP CRM's Facebook integration includes:

    • Messenger DMs - All messages appear in FollowUP's Unified Inbox
    • Quick Replies - Pre-composed quick response templates
    • Chatbot - Automated scenarios for frequent questions
    • AI Responses - Conversation AI responds in Georgian 24/7

    Facebook Comment Management

    FollowUP's Comment AI monitors all comments:

    • Page post comments
    • Ad comments
    • Dark Posts / Shadow Ads comments - These are ads that don't appear on your page's Timeline

    What are Dark Posts? Dark Posts (or Shadow Ads) are Facebook/Instagram ads that are only visible to the target audience. These ads often collect the most comments, but businesses can't see these comments because they don't appear on the page timeline. FollowUP is the only Georgian CRM that monitors Dark Posts comments.

    Facebook Lead Forms

    Leads collected through Facebook Lead Ads automatically flow into FollowUP:

    • Lead data (name, phone, email)
    • Automatic Welcome message
    • Lead assignment to salesperson
    • Follow-up sequence launch

    Instagram CRM Integration

    Instagram Direct Messages

    • DM Management - All Instagram messages in FollowUP's Inbox
    • Story Replies - Responses to Stories
    • Quick Replies - Automatic response templates
    • AI Responses - Conversation AI automatically responds
