Create a Facebook App here.
- After you create an app ID and enter you email, press
- Go to your app dashboard, and set your FB_APP_ID and FB_APP_SECRET from there.
- Click "Messenger" on the App Dashboard sidebar. It should look something like this:
- Under "Token Generation", select a page, and copy the page access token that is generated:
- Set your FB_PAGE_TOKEN environment variable as the page access token you copied. This will allow your bot to send as your page.
- Pick an alphanumeric string and set it as your FB_VERIFY_TOKEN.
