Before you can configure ACD messaging for X, you must have an X account for your business and it must be set to receive direct messages from everyone.

- Log in to your X business account.
- Select More in the left hand menu to access Settings and Privacy option.
- From the menu, select Settings and privacy.
- From this menu, select Privacy and safety.
- Under Privacy and Safety, click Direct Messages.
