Hey guys, what’s up? It’s Christine Seale, the High Level Queen, here to share some incredible insights with you! If you’ve been struggling to manage your customer interactions on Facebook Messenger without breaking the bank on ManyChat, you’re in the right place. Today, I’m going to show you how to create a Facebook Messenger bot for free using Go High Level. Yes, you heard that right—absolutely free! Let’s dive in and revolutionize your digital marketing strategy with just three simple steps.
Step 1: Determine Your Popular Keywords
The first step in creating your Facebook Messenger bot is determining your popular keywords. These are the phrases or questions your audience frequently uses. If you don’t have a history of keywords, no worries! Think about the common actions you want your users to take.
For instance, in my case, people often ask me how to join my Facebook group, Marketing Agency Automation Secrets, or inquire about the bonuses they get when signing up for High Level under my link. These keywords help automate responses to frequently asked questions, saving you and your team valuable time.
How to Identify Keywords
Start by making a list of common phrases or questions. If you’re unsure, consider the top inquiries you receive daily. In my experience, keywords like “Facebook group” and “bonuses” are game-changers. Write down your keywords, and you’re ready for the next step!
Step 2: Create Your Workflow in Go High Level
Now that you have your keywords, it’s time to set up your workflow in Go High Level. This platform is a powerhouse for digital marketers looking to automate their processes efficiently.
Setting Up Your Workflow
- Integration: First, integrate your Facebook page with Go High Level. This is crucial for the bot to interact with your Messenger.
- Workflow Trigger: Create a new workflow and set the trigger to “customer replied.” This trigger will activate the bot when it detects your specified keywords.
- Keyword Configuration: Configure the keywords. For example, set “contains phrase” to recognize “Facebook group” or “bonuses.” Ensure the reply channel is set to Facebook Messenger.
- Automated Response: Create an action in your workflow that sends an automated message when these keywords are detected. For instance, when someone types “Facebook group,” your bot can reply with, “We are excited to have you in our new Facebook Group! Click below to join.”
Example Workflow
Here’s a simple workflow example:
- Trigger: Customer replied with “Facebook group.”
- Action: Send a message: “Join our Facebook Group here: [link].”
Make sure to save and activate your workflow. You can always test it by messaging your page with the keywords to see if the bot responds correctly.
Step 3: Test Your Bot
Testing is a crucial part of setting up your Messenger bot. It ensures that your automation works seamlessly and provides a smooth user experience.
How to Test
- Run a Test: Use the “Run test” feature in Go High Level to see if your bot responds appropriately.
- Message Yourself: Log into Facebook and send a message to your page using the keywords you set up. If the bot replies with the correct automated message, you’re good to go!
- Troubleshoot: If you encounter issues, check your workflow settings and keyword configurations. Sometimes, small tweaks can make a big difference.
Real-Life Example
I tested my bot by messaging “Facebook group” to my page. The bot responded with, “We are excited to have you in our new Facebook Group! Click below to join.” It worked flawlessly! Remember, you can also set up multiple keywords and responses to cover different scenarios.
