Now that you have created your bot and want your customers to be able to reach it, you can use some (or all of!) these Facebook plugins to make your chatbot more available at-hand:
Customer Chat Plugin
This is a Facebook Messenger plugin that allows you to integrate your Messenger experience directly into your website. This allows your customers to interact with your business anytime with the same personalized, media-rich experience they get through Messenger.
You can set the Customer Chat plugin up from your Facebook Page:
-
Go to Page Settings > Messenger Platform.
-
In the “Customer Chat Plugin” section, click the 'Setup' button.
The setup tool provides a simple UI for customizing the Greeting Message, theme color, displayed response time, and setting the whitelisted domains.
Upon completion, the setup tool automatically generates the code snippets that you can copy & paste to include the customer chat plugin in your website.
For more information, visit Messenger Platform Documentation.
Send to Messenger Plugin
It’s a Facebook Messenger Plugin that’s used to trigger an authenticated event to your bot. You can check data to know which user and transaction were tied to the authenticated event and link the user to your bot.
To setup Send to Messenger plugin, follow Messenger platform documentation.

Message Us Plugin
A Facebook Messenger plugin can be used to start a conversation and send the person to Messenger immediately. On the desktop website, the user is sent to messenger.com, and on mobile, they are sent to the Messenger native app.
To set the Message Us plugin up, follow Messenger platform documentation.

Checkbox Plugin
A Facebook Messenger plugin allows you to display a checkbox in forms on your website that will enable users to opt-in to receive messages from your bot in Messenger.
It’s similar to the Send to Messenger plugin but optimized for forms and can be used for just about any form-based flow on your site.
To setup, the Checkbox plugin, follow Messenger platform documentation.
