# Enable DM messaging for a social account

`POST /api/v1/social-account/messaging/enable`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.bundle.social`
- URL: `https://api.bundle.social/api/v1/social-account/messaging/enable`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Subscribe the team's Facebook page or Instagram account to Meta DM webhooks and start processing its messages. Connecting or re-authorizing an account never does this on its own. Idempotent. Returns 403 when the organization has not been granted Instagram and Facebook direct messages and automations (email contact@bundle.social to request it), 400 when the account lacks the messaging permissions (reconnect it), and 502 when Meta rejects the subscription; the account then stays DISABLED.

## Request body

- object
  - `teamId` string, required
  - `type` 'FACEBOOK' | 'INSTAGRAM', required

## Response `200`

200

- object
  - `socialAccountId` string, required
  - `type` 'FACEBOOK' | 'INSTAGRAM', required
  - `messagingStatus` 'DISABLED' | 'ENABLED' | 'DISABLE_PENDING', required
