Facebook Events

Bot Framework v4 facebook events bot sample

This bot has been created using Bot Framework, is shows how to integrate and consume Facebook specific payloads, such as postbacks, quick replies and opt-in events. Since Bot Framework supports multiple Facebook pages for a single bot, we also show how to know the page to which the message was sent, so developers can have custom behavior per page.
