Having multiple contact touchpoints lets you reach people no matter where they are. Your target audience isn't going to come from just one channel. But this also means that you'll have multiple groups of contacts to sort through from a variety of traffic channels.
You only have two hands, how do you organize everyone that comes through places like live online chats?
You don't do anything. An automation recipe can! Specifically, the Add Contacts to FB Custom Audiences from Online Chat Automation Recipe.
When a contact reaches out via chat, this automation adds them to your Facebook Custom Audience.
NOTE: This automation recipe requires a Facebook integration and must be used with the Conversations feature.
