I can't seem to acquire Private Messages

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 40

Hello, 

Hope you are doing great?  

I have enabled acquisition or private messages but I still don't see them. I checked under Social Profiles and saw this message "The acquisition of private messages is allowed, but the acquisition isn't active in Search Setup" 

Does anyone have a guide as to how I can achieve this?  There is little content that speaks to Private Messages here : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-engagement/social-engagement/work-with-posts 

Best Regards, 

Simon

    Hi Simon,

    You need to set up a search rule.

    Easiest way to add private message rule is to click the "Create Private Message Rule" button on the social profile:

    Thank you very much Hamlet.

    I have done this as advised. My private messages pane is still blank. I am assuming it would take some time to donwload messages right?

    Best Regards,

    Simon

    So we do not acquire messages from the past (for example, MSE will not show you messages from before you configured your search topic). Otherwise, if you have a new message sitting in your Facebook Inbox then it should get picked up within 15 minutes. Certainly within the hour at absolute worst.

    Hi Simon,

    You need to create a search query to collect the messages.

    Go to Search Setup -> Click "Add Search Topic" button (a big + sign on the right) -> Click "Add Rule" button (a + sign) -> Select "Private message rule"...
