Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have a Facebook Page. If you don't have one, create a Facebook Page first.

Step 1: Go to Facebook Developers

  1. Navigate to Facebook Developers:

  2. Create a Developer Account (if you don’t have one):

    • If you’re new to Facebook Developers, log in with your Facebook credentials and follow the prompts to set up a developer account.

Step 2: Create an App

  1. Create an App:
    • Click on "My Apps" in the top-right corner.
    • Select "Create App".
    • Choose "Business" as the type of app.
    • Fill out the required details such as the app display name and contact email, then click "Create App ID".

Step 3: Add Messenger Product

  1. Add Messenger:
    • In the left sidebar of your app's dashboard, click on "Add Product".
    • Find "Messenger" and click on the "Set Up" button next to it.

Step 4: Connect Your Facebook Page

  1. Generate a Page Access Token:
    • Scroll down to the "Access Tokens" section.
    • Click on "Add or Remove Pages".
    • Follow the prompts to connect your Facebook Page.
    • Once connected, generate a Page Access Token by clicking "Generate Token". Copy this token for later use.

Step 5: Set Up Webhooks

  1. Configure Webhooks:
    • In the Messenger settings, scroll to the "Webhooks" section.
    • Click on "Setup Webhooks".
    • Enter the following details:
      • Callback URL: https://your_hosting.site/webhook
      • Verify Token: 123456
    • Subscribe to the following fields:
      • messages
      • messaging_optins
      • messaging_postbacks
    • Click "Verify and Save".

Step 6: Add Page Subscriptions

  1. Subscribe to Page Events:
    • Still in the Webhooks section, under "Page Subscriptions", select the page you connected earlier.
    • Ensure that messages, messaging_optins, and messaging_postbacks are selected for this subscription.

Step 7: Get Your Page Access Token

  1. Retrieve Token:
    • Go back to the "Access Tokens" section.
    • Copy the generated Page Access Token.

Step 8: Enter Page Access Token

  1. Configure Bot with Token:
    • Paste the Page Access Token into token.txt.

Step 9: Test Your Messenger Bot

  1. Test Bot Functionality:
    • Open your connected Facebook Page.
    • Send a message to your page from a different Facebook account or just send "help" to check available commands.
    • Make sure that the account you will use to test the bot has a role in the app.

Note:

  • The bot will only respond to accounts that have specific roles assigned within the app.

Adding Roles

  1. Navigate to developers.facebook.com:

  2. Access Your App:

    • Log in to your Facebook Developer account.
    • Navigate to the dashboard or "My Apps" section to find your app.

  3. Select "App Roles":

    • Once you've accessed your app's dashboard, look for a section or tab labeled "App Roles" or "Roles and Permissions".

  4. Add Roles:

    • Within the "App Roles" section, you should see options to add or manage roles.
    • Click on the "Add Role" or similar button to start adding roles.

  5. Define Role Details:

    • Specify the name and permissions associated with the new role you want to add. You can create custom roles tailored to your app's requirements.

  6. Assign Roles to Users:

    • After defining the role, you can assign it to specific users associated with your app. You may need to provide the user's name or user ID to assign the role.
