# Automate Facebook Messenger with Fliqr AI

> Connect a Facebook Page to Fliqr AI and configure greeting, welcome message, conversation starters, menus, comments, and marketing messages.

Facebook Messenger connects automation to people already messaging your Page. After you connect the Page, configure the first-touch experience, menus, and comment tools so every conversation has a clear path.

## Prerequisites

* Admin access to that Page in Meta Business Manager
* A Fliqr AI workspace at [app.fliqr.ai](https://app.fliqr.ai)
