Facebook Messenger Bot

This example project creates a Facebook Messenger bot, completely mirroring the quickstart located in Messenger Platform docs.

It's an echo bot that responds to a user's message by repeating their message back to them. It also sends a generic template when a message with "generic" text is received. This project is not dependent on any external libraries and can easily be extended.

Getting Started

To get started you need to:

• Set up your Facebook app on Facebook

• Configure your Facebook App

  The Callback URL you set when configuring your app on Facebook is your Glitch project's publish URL with '/webhook' appended. The publish URL is what loads when you click 'Show' and has the format 'https://project-name.glitch.me', so for this example we used 'https://messenger-bot.glitch.me/webhook' for the Callback URL.

  The Verify Token is a string you make up - it's just used to make sure it is your Facebook app that your server is interacting with.

• Copy your app credentials into the .env file
