Facebook-ChatBot

Moody chatbot, who understands the tone of user's message, and replies accordingly. Bot's mood is updated with every positive(+1) or negative(-1) message. User can return bot's mood by typing 'mood'. I used Facebook Messenger's webhook, and also IBM Watson's Tone Analyzer API and deployed to Heroku.

For example:

• user: I love you

• bot: Oh, that's very kind of you

• user: I hate you

• bot: I feel so bad about what you wrote

• user: that book is blue

• bot: Interesting. Ok.

mood

If user types 'mood', bot will return it's mood(positive, negative, neutral) along with the mood level number.

• user: mood
• bot: positive / Mood Level: 1

Why don't you run it on your local machine?

Side-note: We will use Mac OS X and run our app on Desktop for this example.

However, feel free to run this app from any os and path as you like.

Just follow the instructions below:

1. clone this repo

• go to your terminal and type cd Desktop and git clone https://github.com/flowfelis/Facebook-ChatBot.git

2. install ngrok by clicking here. Locate ngrok file (on your downloads folder propably).

• ngrok will provide us a url on the web which tunnels to our localhost. We can use that url for facebook api webhook as we will see soon after.
• move ngrok file to Desktop for convenience.
• run ngrok server like: ./ngrok http 5000 . but before make sure you are on your Desktop path.

3. run flask development server like python3 main.py in your terminal, make sure you are in Desktop/Facebook-ChatBot/ folder.

• Login to your personal facebook profile, and create a page. This page will represent the bot.
• Create a profile on https://developers.facebook.com if you don't have
• Create a new app with Messenger set a messenger webhook on developers.facebook.com and assign your newly created page with https(must be https, not http) url of ngrok server in terminal, and set chatBotToken as verify token
• Then, send a message to your page, and enjoy :)
