Inboud message event

Hi,
I am trying to trigger an apex class on incomming message from fb messenger. I did find ConversationEntry Object that contains messages but I am not able to write triggers or push topics using this object as it says not supported. I am not able to find a way to recieve an event for every new message from fb messenger. Can someone pls guide me on how to achieve this.

Thanks

Hi abhishek,
Messages are not stored in chatter message due to which trigger is not initiated. Messages are stored in ConversationEntry object as mentioned above.

Swapnil, I'm having the same issue and am going to pursue this question with SF. There seems to be no way to trigger off of inbound messages. That seems crazy because it's a basic feature of literally ever other SMS app vendor. The only method of achieving this might be to have an Einstein bot take over the conversation. 

 

Where you ever able to solve this?
