Facebook Messenger

Follow these steps to launch the chatbot you built for the "Facebook Messenger" channel:

Step 1: Connect Your Facebook Account

Go to Channel Configuration > Facebook > Connect to Facebook

Doing this opens the Facebook pop-up asking for permission, here make sure you choose all the pages that you want to add the chatbot to.

You will require “Admin” permissions to be able to connect the chatbot to a Facebook page. If you do not see any pages in the list, it means that you do not have the required permissions.

Step 2: Connect the Chatbot to the Facebook Page

Once your Facebook account is successfully configured, the Facebook pop-up will auto-close, and you will be able to see all the Facebook pages in the current screen.

Click on the “Expand” icon to be able to choose the chatbot you want to connect.

Once done, hit “Save” and your chatbot is now live on Facebook Messenger.

If the bot's status is turned on then you will see ACTIVE written on that page. If the bot is turned off, you will see INACTIVE.

If there is no status, that means that no bot is connected to the page.
