Update: The actual hosted app may not be working in the future, as Facebook requires activating the rights every year to keep it functioning. Here is a gif of my interaction with the bot w/o text reply rights.
If you are new to messenger bots you might want to see the Facebook Dev Docs first.
This is a dumb bot that uses most of the features of facebook messenger platform. This is NOT a NLP project.
- The bot can ask random questions with tap-and-answer ease from a fixed set of saved questions.
- The bot uses
Node.js
which is faster and more efficient for a bot that handles multiple user requests. - The bot is hosted on Heroku for faster real-time access.
- Install Heroku CLI toolbelt
- Init npm
- Setup Webhook for Messenger
- Subscribe Webhook to your page.
- Code and Test your bot!
