This project contains resources and examples that would lead to a mastery of the Facebook Bot for Messenger platform. It's an aggregation of the learning efforts of the Facebook Developer Circle Lagos led by the Bot Ninjas to provide a step by step introduction to the offerings of the platform.
Note: The contents of this repo does not in any way represent Facebook's official documentation for the messenger platform neither does it serve to replace it.
Messenger bots, since their launch in April 2016, have grown to an exciting ecosystem featuring over 30,000 strong bots. Businesses, Developers have kept finding creative ways of building engaging user experiences on the platform. From productivity & utility through social good to gaming and entertainment, various aspects of the society have different offerings available on the messenger platform. To get a sense of activities on the platform, check out this list of over 1000 bot submissions for just concluded Middle East and Africa Bots for Messenger Challenge!
Although this learning experience would focus on building automated experiences on the Facebook messenger platform, it also includes valuable knowledge that can be leveraged on other bot platforms. In particular, the sections on What bots are and How bots work are platform independent and very valuable.
This learning experience, expectedly, would be spurred on more by practical learning opportunities. This would not only clarify (and concretize) the various bot discussions, but also set the stage to the thought processes required when designing and building out a bot.
