Now You Have Installed The Module. So Let Us Check The Module Configuration.

Configuration QloApps Social Live Chat

Before you configure the module you will have to get Facebook Access Token and Page Id.

Getting Facebook Access Token and Page Id

The first step is to go to https://developers.facebook.com and create an app.

Now on the next page enter your details and click on Create App Id

Once done, you will land on the dashboard. On this page we are interested in two further options:

Messenger: To set up your messenger and get the credentials

Webhook: To use the functionality of getting the messages when you were offline

On this page, you will have to add the page or create a page first.

After adding or creating the page you can Generate the Access Token.

Now you have the Add Id and Token but to use the offline message feature you need to set up Webhook, which you will find on this page only. Here click Add Callback URL.

Here click Add Callback URL. Then you will have to fill the Callback URL and Verify Token.

You will find these details in your QloApps Social Live Chat module under the working hours section.

Once you have entered the details you will be ready to go.

You must have to submit your app for the messenger review. Once Facebook approves the App then you will be able to go live.
