Questions tagged [facebook-chatbot]

Chatbots provide personalized, interactive communication akin to talking to a human customer service or sales representative, but at a bigger scale and cheaper than call centers.

Setup

For this integration, you will need the following:

  • Facebook App: The Facebook App contains the settings. This is where you will set up your webhook, retrieve your page access token and submit your app for approval.

  • Facebook Page: A Facebook Page will be used as the identity of your bot. When people chat with your bot, they will see the Page name and the Page profile picture.

  • Webhook URL: We use secure callbacks in order to send you messaging events. These will be sent to your webhook.
