- Teams that already receive customer questions through a Facebook Page.
- Brands that want to unify Messenger with other support channels.
- Support flows where AI should answer first and people should handle edge cases.
Facebook Messenger
Connect your Facebook Page inbox to BldBot.
Use Facebook Messenger when customers already write to your Page and you want those dialogs handled by AI and operators in one place.
- Messenger dialogs land in the same inbox as Telegram, WhatsApp, website chat, and email.
- The agent can answer from knowledge, call APIs, and pass the conversation to an operator when needed.
- Operators do not need a separate Facebook-only process to keep context.
- BldBot uses Messenger from Meta, so Facebook is configured through the Meta app, Messenger API Setup, Page Access Token, and Webhooks, not through a standalone bot account.
- BldBot only asks for `page_access_token` and `verify_token`. After activation, BldBot shows the callback URL that must then be added in Meta Webhooks.
- For real inbound traffic, the app should be published to Live mode. In practice, publishing the app is the key step that unlocks real incoming Messenger traffic. App Review is a separate Meta process and should not be confused with publishing.
Setup instructions
- Open Meta for Developers and either create a new app or open an existing one, then add Messenger. If you are starting from scratch, use Meta's Messenger app setup guide.
- In Messenger API Setup, connect the correct Facebook Page and generate the `Page Access Token`. Meta normally lets you generate it only if you can manage that Page and the app has the required Page messaging access. This is the value you will later paste into BldBot as `page_access_token`.
- Open the BldBot workspace, go to the agent page, paste `page_access_token` and your own `verify_token` into Facebook activation, then enable the channel.
- Copy the Facebook callback URL shown by BldBot into Meta Webhooks or Messenger settings, set the same `verify_token`, subscribe the app to `messages` and `messaging_postbacks`, then subscribe the Page to the app. Use Meta's Webhooks guide if you need the exact UI flow.
- If the app is still in development mode, test with accounts that Meta allows for the app. Before expecting real incoming traffic from normal users, publish the app to Live mode. Meta's Messenger App Review is a separate process you may read about if your permissions or use case require it later.
- Send one real Messenger message to the Page and confirm that the dialog appears in Conversations and that the reply goes back to the same thread.
What to verify after activation
- The Page message appears in the shared BldBot conversation list.
- AI or operator replies go back to the same Messenger dialog.
- The conversation can stay in one thread instead of splitting between Messenger and manual tools.
Typical issues
- The wrong token was copied: BldBot needs the Facebook `Page Access Token`, not a user token.
- The correct Page was not connected or was never subscribed to the app after webhook setup.
- The app settings look correct in Meta, but no one sent a real Page message, or the app is still not published to Live mode.
