How can I trigger a flow after clicking button on my website?

[boblelle]

Looking for some help…

I want to trigger a flow in my FB chat bot by clicking a button on my website. And after clicking the button, I would like to redirect to another page telling my users to check Messenger.

How can this be done? Anybody have a code snippet I could modify?

Thanks!

Hi Bob,

You may be able to add ?ref parameter to the URL that the button links to. Some more information in this post by @johnjackson

Facebook Enhancements - me.me Referral Links, Likes & Auth

We've made some changes to our Facebook Messenger integration: Referral links (e.g. http://m.me/mybot?ref=myparam) can now be used with Flow XO.

We've simplified setting up Messenger bots so you can now connect a bot with only a page, and without having to wait on the app being reviewed. This is now the default option when setting up a Messenger bot but you can…

As to the bridge ‘Thank You / Check Messenger’ page, I don’t know.

If you do find a solution please post it as I think this could come in handy for a few people.
