Part 2 | Configure your Facebook Page Welcomer

This Chat Starter Template has been created for you to be able to get started right away with little configuration. There are only a few things you need to update.

Once you are done updating you can activate your bot and start using it.

Below this helpdoc we will provide links to some helpful information to further build out your bot when you're ready.

  1. The first thing you want to do is click on "Chat Starters" link on the top left.

Then click on the "Facebook Page Welcomer" link on the right side.

You will now see the main Chat Starter.

Here you will see the main bot that we have created for you. The first thing you need to configure here is the first message.

  1. Replace "{{company name}}" with your company name. You can also add more if you want.
Do not remove "{{first name}}". This is how MobileMonkey greets your visitors by the name they have signed up in with in Facebook. This ads a personalization to your messages.
  1. The next thing you want to do is click on the button that says "Your Offer" and rename it.
  1. Now scroll down the page till you see the following message and update the "{{offer}}" with your offer name.
  1. Now scroll down a little more till you see the attachment widget. Click on this to upload your PDF lead magnet. This will then be sent to your user when they enter their email.
  1. The next thing you are going to see is the Zapier Widget. This widget enables you to connect with your CRM or a spreadsheet to transfer the data from MobileMonkey. We have included a link below with instructions on how to enable this if you want to.

Part 3 | Configure your Website Chat Widget

This will give you a very similar chat starter as the Facebook Page Welcomer.

  2. Then change the "Your Offer" name like you did in the Facebook Page Welcomer. Now since these are using the same chat starter, you do not have to change anything else.
The website widget needs to be installed on your website before you can start using it. We have created an entire help document that walks you through how to do this. Click this link to view it Website Chat Widget Install and Configuration
