This guide explains how to correctly connect your Facebook Page Messenger to erxes and test whether it's working properly.

### **Connect Facebook Messenger**

1.  Go to **Settings**.
2.  Navigate to **Integration**.
3.  Select **Facebook Messenger** and click **+Add**.
4.  Click **Continue with Facebook** and log in using the **Admin** account of the Facebook Page you want to connect.
    
    > **Important:**
    
    -   You must log in with a **Facebook Page Admin account**.
    -   If you are not an Admin, the connection will fail.
    -   If the Admin account’s password is changed, the connection will be lost.
    -   erxes recommends using a dedicated, non-personal Facebook account as the Admin for long-term stability.
    -   If Admin rights are revoked, the connection will break. Only the Admin can restore it.
5.  Click **Next**.
6.  Click **Select** next to your Facebook Page name — it must be **Selected**.
7.  In the **Integration Name** field, enter: \[Fb messenger\] Facebook Page Name
8.  Select a **Brand**.
    -   If not created, click **Create Brand**, then select it.
9.  Select a **Channel**.
    -   If not created, click **Create Channel**, then select it.
10.  Click **Save**.

### **Test the Integration**

1.  Send a message to your Facebook Page via Messenger.
2.  Open the **Team Inbox** in erxes.
3.  Confirm that the message appears in the conversation list.
4.  In the **To send your message** field, enter your response and send.
5.  Check if the response was delivered to the Facebook Messenger customer.

### **If Facebook Messages Are Not Appearing in Team Inbox**

#### 1\. Check if your account is included in the Channel

-   Go to **Settings → Channel**
-   Select the Channel linked to Facebook
-   Check if your **erxes account** is listed under **Members**

#### 2\. Verify the Channel is selected during Facebook Integration

-   Go to **Settings → Integration**
-   Find **Facebook Messenger**
-   Click **Edit**
-   Ensure a **Channel** is selected

#### 3\. Recheck the Facebook connection

-   Go to **Settings → Integration**
-   Click **+Add** under Facebook Messenger
-   Click **Next**
-   If **Select** is available next to the Page, the connection may be lost.
    -   Re-select the Page, enter Integration name, Brand, and Channel again
    -   Click **Save**

If you cannot select the Page, assume the connection is still valid. Retry or contact the **erxes Support Team** for help.

4.  **Click Continue with Facebook and log in with the "Admin" account** of the Facebook page you want to connect to .
    
    -   **Note** : If the account is not an "Admin" account, the connection will not be successful, and the "Admin" account that has been connected cannot change its Facebook password. The connection will be disconnected every time you change it. Therefore, Erxis recommends that you create a non-personal, unused account for the "Admin" account and connect to it.
    -   If the "Admin" account's **"Admin" rights** are revoked, the connection will be lost. Only the "Admin" account will be able to reconnect properly, so it is necessary to select the correct "Admin" account.
