Botsify helps you apply AI tech easily to automate responses to your enterprise’s social media presence, so you can provide marketing, sales & tech support to your Facebook profile without having to get into the murky waters of chatbot programming.

  • Connect your Facebook app with Botsify’s app Webhook & verify the app connection
