Click the Import button.
You’ll be prompted to link the Facebook Page connected account you created earlier.
Click the Import button again.
You should see the following:
Test the integration behaviors
Click on Facebook Page Bot and then click Behaviors on its card.
Open the card for the Get page info behavior.
Click on the Simulator button at the top of the card.
Click the Simulate button.
You should see a JSON response with fields from your linked Facebook page.
You can use the simulator on the other two behaviors to test them as well.
Next steps
At this point you can modify the behaviors to meet your needs. You can use the responses from Facebook’s Graph API in your behaviors.
Use Facebook’s Graph API Explorer to build your API calls, and then copy the details into an Execute HTTP Request action in your bot behavior.
