- Create or configure a Facebook App or Page here https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
- In the app go to Messenger tab then click Setup Webhook. Here you will put in the URL of your Heroku server and a token. Make sure to check all the subscription fields.
In this step https://guarded-dusk-21746.herokuapp.com/webhook/ will be https://yourdomain.com/webhook/
- Get a Page Access Token and save this somewhere.
-
Go back to Terminal and type in this command to trigger the Facebbook app to send messages. Remember to use the token you requested earlier.
$ curl -X POST "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/subscribed_apps?access_token=PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN"
