Create an away message for your Facebook Page

Computer help
Classic Pages on Facebook are updating to the new Pages experience. You'll still have access to many of the same features to manage your professional presence, build your brand or business, grow your audience and connect with followers. Your content, insights, ads, Likes and followers will automatically transfer when your Page updates.
You can create an away message that's automatically sent to people who message your Page when your Page's messaging status is set to away.
You can schedule your Page's messaging status to match your business hours or manually change your Page's messaging status to away at any time.
