Automate Facebook Messenger Replies for Your Small Business
This is the exact technical setup I use to automate Messenger replies. You'll need: a Facebook Page, a Meta Developer account, Claude API key, and a server to host the webhook.
Step 1 — Set up Meta webhook. Go to Meta for Developers, create an app, add Messenger product, and configure the webhook URL. The webhook listens for incoming messages.
Step 2 — Connect Claude API. When a message comes in, send it to Claude with your FAQ prompt. Claude generates a reply. Send the reply back via Messenger API.
Pro tip: use prompt caching with Anthropic's API. It caches your system prompt (FAQ document) and only sends the new message each time. Cuts your API bill by up to 90%.
Total setup time: about 4 hours. Running cost: ₱500–1,500/month depending on volume.
