Facebook Chat on your page: Are you looking for a simple and free alternative to chat chat in your business?
Below we will see how you can create a chat widget from Facebook Messenger, but also how to add it to your site to chat with your visitors in real time.
Your new Chat will work on both desktops and mobile phones. You should have a Facebook page.
Let's start
From the page developers.facebook.com Click the "Add New Application" button to create a new Facebook application.
Give your app a name and click the Create button to get a unique ID of your app. It will be a simple sequence of digits such as 1234567890000000000.
From your Facebook page now, click on tab Settings, select Messenger Platform, Whitelisted Domains, and enter your Page URL. Click Save. You can add multiple domains if you want to integrate the same chat on multiple pages.
Then you need to use the ID of your Facebook page that you want to connect to the chat. All interactions with your customers will be displayed in the inbox of this page.
We're almost done. Open one archive (footer.php) and copy-paste the following code. You should replace the App_ID (from the App you made on the page developers.facebook.com) and Facebook Page_ID from your Facebook page.
That's it. Your Facebook Chat is already on your website. If you don't see it, delete it μνήμη cache and make sure your page domain is registered in your Facebook Page settings.
With Facebook Messenger Chat, you can set an automated greeting that will appear as soon as a visitor starts a conversation. Similarly, you can set up a message stating that you are not on the computer.
You can create these messages, from your Facebook page, Settings, Messages and Reply Assistant
Note for Adblock users
Note that the chat is displayed via Facebook. Therefore, if you use any adblock add-on that blocks the uploading of plugins from social networks, it will not show up.
