Step 3 — Set Up Facebook Messenger
Connect your Facebook Page to ReplyBase and start handling Messenger enquiries automatically
Before You Start
- You have a Facebook account and are logged in
- You have admin access to at least one Facebook Page
- The Page is published (not in draft mode)
Personal profiles are not supported
Facebook Messenger integration requires a Facebook Page, not a personal profile. If you do not have a Page yet, create one at facebook.com/pages/create before continuing.
A. Create a Bot in ReplyBase
Each connected Facebook Page is powered by a ReplyBase bot. You need at least one bot before connecting. If you already have one, skip to step B.
- 1Open Bots from the sidebar.
- 2Click New Bot, name it (e.g. "Facebook Bot"), and save.
- 3Optionally create a flow and assign it as the bot's Entry Flow in bot settings.
B. Sign In with Facebook
- 1Open Integrations from the sidebar and click Facebook Messenger.
- 2Click Sign In with Facebook. A Facebook authorization window opens.
- 3Log in to Facebook if prompted, then review and accept the permissions ReplyBase requests. These include access to your Pages and the ability to manage Messenger subscriptions.
- 4After authorization, you are redirected back to the ReplyBase integration page. Your Facebook Pages appear in a list.
C. Connect Your Facebook Page
- 1Find the Facebook Page you want to connect in the list.
- 2Click Connect Pagenext to it. ReplyBase subscribes to the page's Messenger webhook.
- 3The page status updates to Connected.
D. Assign a Flow to Your Page
Flows control what happens when someone messages your Page. Without a flow assigned, ReplyBase uses AI fallback responses.
- 1In the Facebook integration page, find your connected Page.
- 2Use the Assign Flow dropdown to select an active flow.
- 3Click Save. The flow is now active for this page.
If You Don't See Your Page
Page is not appearing after sign-in
During Facebook authorization, make sure you tick the checkbox next to every Page you want to manage. If you unchecked it, disconnect and reconnect your Facebook account to re-authorize.
