Adding Facebook Messenger to your Webflow website can be a great way to improve communication with your audience. With the Messenger plugin, you can provide instant support, answer queries, and even generate leads directly from your website. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps to seamlessly integrate Facebook Messenger into your Webflow site.

Step 1: Create a Facebook Page

Before you can add Messenger to your Webflow site, you need to have a Facebook Page. If you already have one, feel free to skip this step. Otherwise, follow these simple instructions:

  • Create a new Facebook account or log in to an existing one.
  • Go to facebook.com/pages/create.
  • Select “Business or Brand” for the page type.
  • Choose an appropriate category for your page.
  • Add a name for your page, such as “My Website Support” or “Customer Care.”
  • Add a profile picture and cover photo, if desired.
  • Click on “Create Page” and voila! Your Facebook Page is ready!

Step 2: Get the Messenger Code Snippet

To integrate Facebook Messenger into Webflow, we’ll need to obtain the Messenger Code Snippet from our newly created Facebook Page. Follow these steps:

  • Open your Facebook Page settings. You can find them by clicking on the “Settings” tab at the top-right corner of your page.
  • Select “Messaging” from the left-hand menu.
  • Scroll down to the “Customer Chat Plugin” section and click on “Set Up. “
  • Configure your plugin settings.

    You can customize the greeting, theme, and other options according to your preferences. Make sure to enable the “Show a chat bubble” option for an improved user experience.

  • Copy the generated code snippet. It should look something like this:
<div class="fb-customerchat"
  attribution="setup_tool"
  page_id="YOUR_PAGE_ID"
  theme_color="#COLOR_CODE"
></div>

Step 3: Add Messenger to Webflow

Now that we have the Messenger Code Snippet, it’s time to integrate it into your Webflow site. Here’s how:

  • Login to your Webflow account and open your desired project in the Designer.
  • Select the page where you want to add Messenger. You can do this by clicking on the page name in the left-hand sidebar.
  • Add an HTML Embed element.

    Drag and drop it onto your desired location on the page.

  • Paste the Messenger Code Snippet that you copied from Facebook. The code should be placed inside the HTML Embed element.
  • Publish your site to make the changes live!

Step 4: Test and Enjoy!

Congratulations! You’ve successfully added Facebook Messenger to your Webflow website. Now it’s time to test it out:

  • Open your published site in a new tab or browser window.
  • You should see the Messenger chat bubble on your website. Click on it to initiate a conversation with your visitors.
  • Try sending and receiving messages to ensure everything is working correctly.
  • Experiment with the Messenger settings. You can customize the appearance, greetings, and other features directly from your Facebook Page settings.

That’s it! You’ve successfully integrated Facebook Messenger into your Webflow website.

Now you can provide real-time support, build stronger connections with your audience, and enhance user experience. Enjoy the benefits of seamless communication!
