Before you begin:

• Configure Digital Messaging channel security settings. For more information, see Configuring Digital Messaging channel security.
• If you do not have an IVA for Digital Messaging, create a Digital Messaging channel. For more information, see Creating a Digital Messaging channel.
• If you do not have a Facebook Admin account and one or more Facebook pages, create them. For more information, refer to the Facebook developer portal.

Note: You use your Facebook Admin account to authorize the Pega Facebook App to retrieve Facebook messages that the system posts to your selected Facebook pages on your behalf. Your Facebook account must be an Admin of the Facebook pages in order to provide this authorization. You cannot use your Facebook Admin account to authorize a Facebook page for Digital Messaging in more than one Pega application at the same time, but you can use a Facebook Admin account to add multiple Facebook pages to the same application. When using Facebook, one Facebook page can have multiple Admins. You access Digital Messaging Manager in the Digital Messaging channel to configure individual messaging accounts in one place for your application.

For relevant training materials, see the Configuring Digital Messaging Manager module on Pega Academy.
