Facebook Messenger Bot - View Greeting Text


I'm developing a bot for FB Messenger and want to set a greeting text for the first time a user interacts with the bot.

I followed what the docs say on setting the greeting text. Now I would like to test it and view the greeting message. However, I am stuck because I have already sent the bot messages and hence am not able to view the bot as a new user.

How is it possible to viewing the greeting message UI as if you were a new user?


Solution

  • Unfortunately there is no "official" way to see the greeting message UI as if you were a new user.

    But, a workaround for this is to delete the conversation (from your messenger application or from Facebook's chat) and reinitiate it.
