Description

Build professional grade Chatbots for Facebook Messenger with this course. Chatfuel is the platform of choice for such brands as Netflix, Adidas, HTC, TechCrunch, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, MTV, Reebok and thousands more.

If your business doesn’t have a chatbot on Facebook Messenger, then you’re missing out on a huge opportunity to turbo charge your marketing and keep your customers and clients engaged with your brand.

A Chatbot is an autonomous tool that can interact with users using conversational messaging. Conversational messaging is the absolute best way to interact with your audience. A chatbot opens up millions of avenues & opportunities for your business.

For instance, a customer service chatbot can interact with your customers on Facebook to provide them support and answers to most common problems.

A marketing chatbot can promote and even sell products, all from the comforts of Facebook Messenger. On the other hand, you can build a smart service that pulls information from various sources and presents it to the user as a chat message!

The possibilities are endless.

Today, users spend more time in messaging apps such as Facebook Messenger, than on websites and other social media platforms. A chatbot allows your business to be where your customers are at.

This course is designed for developers, marketers, business managers and virtually anyone, who wishes to expand their horizons and use chatbots as powerful tools for enhancing business and marketing potential.

We will begin by building chatbots that do not require any coding, but as any experienced bot developer will tell you, bots do require custom code & logic for ultimate scalability and features. Unlike other courses that claim to build bots without any coding, this course takes a realistic stand and gives you a taste of writing custom messenger extensions, integrations, plugin and logic that is built and deployed using cutting-edge serverless technology on AWS.

Be a part of this incredible revolution as conversational messaging takes a giant leap across traditional apps and social media.

As with all my courses, I’m 100% available to each and every student, to help out when in need and beyond. And best of all, this course will be enriched with fresh content from time to time.

My name is Sachin Bhatnagar, your instructor and friend, for this course. I have been coding since the 90s and have taught and consulted several organisations over the past 18+ years. Join my extended family of over 15,000 students.

Together, let’s build some chatbots!
