Custom ChatGPT within Facebook Messenger

Sometimes, consumers never make it to your client's website. They’re engaging within communities like Facebook, and so that’s exactly where your client's chatbot needs to be.

We initially used FastBots with Zapier to automate Facebook Page Messenger responses for our clients. It was effective, but there was a short delay (usually a few seconds or less). Occasionally, we received emails about random errors from Zapier, due to content length, or something else, resulting in ignored users.

However, FastBots has now launched its direct integration with Facebook Messenger, making it faster than ever. So far, we haven't encountered any instances of users not receiving immediate responses.

Setting it up is straightforward:

1. Log into your Fastbots account.

2. Select your bot and navigate to 'Integrations' in the lower left menu.

3. Click on 'Messenger' and connect it to your Facebook account.

4. Select the appropriate page for responses.

That’s it! It works seamlessly.

(Note: I had to use Safari because Chrome settings blocked the pop-up for authentication.)

This new integration with FastBots saves you $29.99/month on a basic Zapier subscription (if you're not using it for other things) and an hour or two of setup and troubleshooting.

FastBots is incredibly user-friendly and continually introduces new features. I’m excited to see what’s next!
