README

Vrann Magebot is an extension which implements simple Chat Bot for Facebook Messenger backed by Magento.

It configures Magento to read messages from the RabbitMQ with the text from Facebook Messenger. Messages should be written to RabbitMQ by https://github.com/vrann/http-rabbitmq-writer installed on public web endpoint and registered for webhook in Facebook.

While processing message, Magebot invokes handler which generates response to the message and writes it to the RabbitMQ. https://github.com/vrann/http-rabbitmq-writer will read messages from the RabbitMQ and send them to the Facebook.
