About Facebook​

Facebook is the world's largest social networking platform, connecting billions of people globally. Facebook provides various APIs and integration capabilities, particularly through Facebook Messenger, enabling businesses to create automated messaging experiences, customer service bots, and interactive communication workflows.

The Facebook Messenger platform is particularly valuable for businesses seeking to provide customer support, marketing automation, and interactive customer engagement through one of the world's most popular messaging platforms.

Integration Options​

Messenger API: Facebook provides the Messenger Platform API that enables businesses to send messages, create interactive experiences, and build chatbots. The API supports rich messaging features including text, images, quick replies, and structured templates for creating engaging user interactions through Facebook Messenger.
