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.
