What are Messenger chatbots?
A bot is used to automate conversation to understand questions, provide answers, and execute tasks. Rather than a lead going to a landing page or website and following up via email, voicemail, or text, a chatbot takes its place.
What you need to create a chatbot
There are three components necessary in order to advertise on Facebook: A Business Page, Ad Account, and ManyChat Pro Account
Business Page - Serves to help people learn about your business in terms of what you do, how you can be contacted, and where you're located.
Ad Account - Gives you the ability to create and manage ads that will be seen by your targeted audience.
ManyChat - The software needed to create the chatbot itself.
