This example project creates a Facebook Messenger bot, completely mirroring the quickstart located in Messenger Platform docs.

It is a remix from the original Facebook Messenger Bot Glitch project, but that integrates Watson Assistant.

To get started you need to:

• An IBM Cloud account (it's free!) to create a Watson Assistant service

• Set up your Facebook app on Facebook

• Configure your Facebook App

  The Callback URL you set when configuring your app on Facebook is your Glitch project's publish URL with '/webhook' appended. The publish URL is what loads when you click 'Show' and has the format 'https://project-name.glitch.me', so for this example we used 'https://messenger-bot.glitch.me/webhook' for the Callback URL.

  The Verify Token is a string you make up - it's just used to make sure it is your Facebook app that your server is interacting with.

• Copy your app credentials into the .env file
