Auto Reply
Facebook Marketplace Auto Reply
An auto reply tool for Facebook Marketplace should do more than say "yes, still available". PilotAgent answers every buyer message in seconds with AI, negotiates within rules you set, captures each lead into a built-in CRM, and books the viewing. All from a Chrome extension, with no Meta API approval needed.
7-day free trial. From $10/mo. Cancel anytime.
The three ways to auto reply on Marketplace
There are three routes to automating your Facebook Marketplace replies. They are not equal, so here is the honest comparison.
| Capability | Meta AI built-in | Saved replies | PilotAgent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Answers “Is this still available?” | |||
| Answers follow-up questions | |||
| Negotiates within a floor price | |||
| Captures name and phone number | |||
| Books viewings and test drives | |||
| Follows up with buyers who go quiet | |||
| Works across multiple accounts |
Meta AI's built-in replies are free and worth switching on if you sell casually. They draft an answer to the first availability question from your listing details, then stop. Saved replies need a business page and still fire the same canned text at everyone. If your income depends on Marketplace, the conversation after the first message is where the money is.
What PilotAgent's auto reply actually does
Replies in seconds, 24/7
Buyers get an answer while they are still looking at your listing. Fast first replies are the biggest factor in whether a buyer shows up.
Negotiates within your rules
Set a floor price per listing. The AI fields lowball offers, counters politely, and holds your line while you do something else.
Captures every lead
Names and phone numbers are pulled out of conversations and filed into a built-in CRM automatically. No more scrolling Messenger to find that buyer from Tuesday.
Books viewings and test drives
The AI offers time slots and confirms appointments inside the chat, so interested buyers become booked buyers before they cool off.
Covers the night shift
Most Marketplace messages arrive evenings and weekends. The AI answers at 1am and you wake up to booked appointments, not a backlog.
You stay in control
Pause the AI on any single conversation and take over yourself. Resume when you want. Every reply is visible in your dashboard.

Facebook Marketplace auto reply FAQ
Does Facebook Marketplace have a built-in auto reply?
Yes, in a limited form. Meta AI can draft replies to availability questions using your listing details, and business pages can set saved replies in Messenger. Both handle the first message only. They cannot answer follow-up questions, negotiate, capture contact details, or book a viewing.
Is it safe to use an auto reply tool?
PilotAgent works through a Chrome extension in your own browser, replying inside your normal Messenger session at a human pace. It does not use bulk messaging or unofficial APIs. You stay in control and can pause the AI on any conversation.
Do I need Meta API approval?
No. PilotAgent runs as a Chrome extension, so there is no developer approval, no business verification, and no waiting. Replies start the same day you install it.
Can it negotiate price?
Yes. You set a floor price and negotiation style per listing. The AI fields lowball offers, counters politely, and never drops below your limit.
What does it cost?
Plans start at $10 per month for 1,000 AI responses. Professional is $20 for 4,000, Enterprise is $50 for 10,000 with webhooks and CRM sync, and Enterprise+ starts at $149 for unlimited responses. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
