To add the Workplace by Facebook channel to your bot, you will need a developer portal Facebook account to configure the connection between Facebook Workplace and Kore.ai. Adding the Workplace by Facebook channel to your Kore.ai bot is a 3-step process to allow end-users for your bot to interact with your bot using their Facebook Workplace accounts. To add the Workplace by Facebook channel to your bot, you will need to:

1. Create a Custom Integration – In your Facebook Workplace admin account, you will need to create an app to provide authorization for communication between Facebook Workplace and your Kore.ai bot. To create a Facebook app, you must have an admin account.
2. Define Permissions – Select which permissions the bot can use to interact with your bot in the Workplace by Facebook channel.
3. Get App Secret and Token – To use Facebook Workplace, you must generate an access token, and copy the app secret from Facebook Workplace into bot Builder to provide authentication for communications.
