Facebook Messenger Bot Review

Question

I submitted my bot for review today.

Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't seem to be able to access the bot as it doesn't reply to the test messages.

However, when I promote a friend to "Tester" in the Developers app, the bot works just fine.

Do you guys have any idea on why the bot doesn't answer to facebook tests ?

Thanks

One thing that you should make sure before posting your Messenger Bot for review, is if your page, the bot is connected with, is published.

If the Facebook Page isn't published then Facebook's reviewers can't access your bot.

As Christos Panagiotakopoulos mentioned, Facebook requires that the page associated with the bot is published.

I've experienced this as well. Unfortunately the instructions were not listed when making the review request, which can be confusing for new users.
