Gmail + Facebook Messenger Integrations

Gmail is the messaging service from Google. It is a web-based email service that allows users to send and receive emails with formatting, attachments and other features such as contacts management, labels, and priority inbox. Facebook Messenger is a messaging application available for smartphones. It enables users to message other users on the Facebook network. It was launched in July 2011, and has since grown in popularity, reaching 1 billion monthly users in Q4 2015, with over 50% of those users using the app daily. Integration of Gmail and Facebook Messenger is a new feature that allows Facebook Messenger users to send and read email on their mobile phones. This new feature has several benefits that could result in increasing the number of messages sent and received through Facebook Messenger.

The integration of Gmail and Facebook Messenger allows users to use their existing email addresses for both services, by creating a username that consists of their email address and phone number. When a user sends a message from Facebook Messenger to an email address not yet added to Facebook Messenger, the sender receives a request to connect through Facebook Messenger. The recipient can then approve or deny the connection request and send messages using their Gmail account. The recipient's messages appear in Facebook Messenger as normal, however they are sent from the user's existing Gmail address. This feature allows users to choose which email address they would like to use, depending on which device they choose to use to send messages. Rather than having separate accounts for the two services, it is possible to have all messages sent through Facebook Messenger go from the same address. Users can also choose whether they want all messages sent through Facebook Messenger to appear in their email inbox, or only those from specific people.

Integration of Gmail and Facebook Messenger also offers several benefits for businesses. Because Facebook Messenger is popular with many businesses and individuals alike, businesses can use this feature to make it easier for customers to contact them. Businesses can give each customer a personalized name within Facebook Messenger, so that when customers send messages, these appear as coming from the business's Facebook page, rather than the customer's personal page. Businesses can also choose whether to display customers' personal profiles alongside messages sent from their business page. Customers will be able to find businesses easier using this feature, because messages will come from recognizable business names rather than individual people's names. For example, if a customer wants to contact Apple, she can send a message directly from Apple's Facebook page, rather than searching for the company individually or finding its telephone number. This saves time and decreases confusion when trying to contact someone or something through Facebook Messenger.

The integration of Gmail and Facebook Messenger brings several benefits for users, businesses and social media platforms. Users will be able to choose which address their messages are sent from, according to which device they are using at the time. They can have all messages come from one address regardless of which device they are using, or only have certain messages from specific people go to their email inbox. For businesses, this feature means that customers can reach them quicker and more easily than before, by sending them messages directly through a business's Facebook page instead of searching for them individually or finding their number. Businesses can also choose whether or not customers' personal profiles appear alongside messages sent from their business page. Both businesses and social media platforms will benefit from increased usage of messaging applications, as well as increased activity on social media platforms due to the ease of direct messaging between users.
