Obtaining Configuration Details for Facebook Chat Integration 

 

Introduction


This guide explains how to obtain the required configuration details for integrating Facebook Chat with RingQ. These details are needed to connect your Facebook Business Page with RingQ, allowing your team to manage and respond to Facebook messages directly from the RingQ Web App.

Access the Messenger API Settings

1. Log in to your Meta Developers dashboard – follow this guide.

2. From the dashboard, select All Apps.Facebook and RingQ integration

Get the Webhook and Verification Token


Facebook webhooks
1. In the Messenger API Setup page, locate the Configure Webhooks section and expand the dropdown. Facebook webhooks for RingQ integration
2. Under the Callback URL, you will see the webhook endpoint. This URL is where Meta sends real-time events such as incoming messages, replies, and status updates.

3. Once your Facebook account and Page are successfully verified during the registration process, the webhook is automatically established by Meta. This webhook is permanent and cannot be edited or changed.

4. Because the webhook is already preconfigured and fixed, there is no need to copy or paste the webhook URL into the RingQ Web App. RingQ automatically uses the established webhook for the Facebook Chat integration.

Allow Facebook messages to RingQ5. Ensure the Messages toggle is enabled to allow message events to be sent to RingQ.

6. The Verification Token configured here is used by RingQ to validate that webhook requests are genuinely coming from Meta. This token can be customized and defined by you; however, the exact same value must be used consistently.Copy the verification token
7. After customizing the Verification Token, highlight and copy the value.

Paste it into a note editor or text editor. This ensures the token is readily available when completing the Facebook Chat to RingQ configuration.

Ensure that the same Verification Token value is entered in both the Meta Developers webhook settings and the RingQ Facebook Chat configuration to successfully verify and establish the webhook connection.
