And then you need to scroll down until you seeMessage template. Hither, you need to select theAdvanced Setup and click onEdit:

Then you volition see some JSON code that we need to change:

This is where ManyChat comes in. And then let's head over to ManyChat:

Get to ManyChat

Go to Automation and click onNew Menstruation:

manychat-new-flow

ChooseStart from Scratch:

manychat-start-from-scratch

And you lot can rename the flow of your chatbot. So in this example, we will call it "Connect Facebook Ad – Outside Europe":

manychat-rename-flow-ad-outside-europe

And then, we will create the first bulletin of our flow. Virtually of the time, a Facebook Message is already shown, but otherwise you can but drag from the First Footstep and add the Facebook Message yourself, then that it looks like this:

manychat-empty-flow

When you click on the Facebook block, y'all tin can determine the contents of the bulletin. What is really important hither is that you do not set whatever Content-Type. Y'all just need to leave information technology as it is.

Also, the first message is extremely of import. What is important here is that you lot cannot use any personalization in the first bulletin. Usually, you would use the start name of the user in this message, but you lot cannot do that.

In full general, I recommend to determine a message (without whatever personalization) and add together one button or 1 quick respond.

So for example, we tin say (and you can just blazon this in):

We cannot expect to give access yo our Blackness Friday Sale!
Click the button beneath to go access! 👇

And so, nosotros volition add a quick reply by clicking onQuick Reply(every bit you tin can meet in a higher place) and you tin can just type in "Become access":

manychat-quick-reply-get-access

Of form, we need to connect this quick reply to another message. Y'all can do this by simply dragging it and clicking onMessenger:

manychat-first-message-connect

The Content-Type of the side by side message must exist Other (really of import!) and yous can add some text to the message:

So that will be the content of the flow when someone clicks on your Facebook Ad. But to connect it to a Facebook advertisement, you need a trigger.

At the Starting Step of the period, click onAdd together trigger:

In the pop-upwardly, search for "Facebook" and select theFacebook Ads JSON trigger:

And so, you demand to publish your menses (in the top-correct), and refresh the page:

manychat-publish-flow

If we click on the Facebook Ads JSON trigger again, information technology will show some JSON code. And this is the JSON code that nosotros need to add to our Facebook Ad.

Simply click onCopy to clipboard:

manychat-json-copy-code

And paste information technology within your Facebook Advertizing:

As you can see on the image above, Facebook Adsmanager will besides show you a preview of the message on the correct.

And that's it! If you publish your Facebook Ad now, information technology will be connected to a ManyChat menstruation!

Simply over again, this only works if you are living outside Europe. And so now I will testify you how you can do this if you are living in Europe.
