Building your first bot
Chatfuel bots can be published on two deployment platforms: Facebook Messenger and Telegram. Let us build a chatbot for Facebook Messenger first. In order to do that, we need to create a Facebook Page. Every chatbot on Facebook Messenger needs to be attached to a page. Here is how we can build a Facebook Page:
- Go to https://www.facebook.com/pages/create/.
- Click the category appropriate to the page content. In our case, we will use
Brand or Product
and chooseApp Page
. - Give the page a name. In our case, let's use
Get_Around_Edinburgh
. Note that Facebook does not make it easy to change page names. So choose wisely. - Once the page is created, you will see Chatfuel asking for permission to connect to the page:

- Click
CONNECT TO PAGE
. You will be taken to the bot editor. - The name of the bot is set to
My First Bot
. It has a Messenger URL, which you can see by the side of the name. Messenger URLs start withm.me
. You might notice that the bot also comes with aWelcome message
