The content of the appeal can be found below:

“ Hi Facebook Team,

I will use bot to interact automatically with my customers, and promise to follow all of the Platform’s Policies in order to to ensure a good experience for my clients. I think my non-promotional message can help my customers easily search and access the necessary information from my business.
I will send interactive messages to my customers during lunch breaks, and during their spare time. Because of that, I think it will not bother them at all.
Customers’ interactions of my page are increasing, so that I want to interact with all of them, giving them good experiences. After 24 hours from the last interaction between page and customers, I will send only one message to the customer after 24 hours since our last interaction.

I promise that from now on, I will not send advertising, promotions, discounts to customers, and will comply with the Platform’s Policies from Facebook.

Thank you!”
