Publishing on Facebook Messenger

To publish a custom built chatbot on Facebook, you need to follow these steps.

Creating a Facebook Page

You need a Facebook Page that can hold the chatbot. To create a Facebook Page, you need a Facebook account. If you don't have one, go ahead and create one at www.facebook.com.

Once you are logged in to Facebook, you should be able to create any number of pages. To create a page, follow these steps:

1. On the left, there is a menu with three tabs: SHORTCUTS, EXPLORE, and CREATE. Under CREATE, click Page:

2. A Facebook Page can be created as a public profile to represent businesses, brands, celebrities, public causes, and so on. You will see the following menu:

Choose Artist, Band or Public Figure. Since we are building a chatbot, let us create it as a fictional character. Choose Fictional Character from the drop-down menu, give it a name, and click Get Started:

3. We have now created a page. Let us go ahead and configure it:
