2. In the Current channel interfaces section, click the icon that represents your existing Digital Messaging channel.
3. In the Digital Messaging channel, click the Connection tab.
4. Click Manage connections.
5. In the Digital Messaging Manager window, click Add Connection, and then click the Facebook icon.
6. If you are not signed on to your Facebook account in the browser, log in to your account:
   1. On the Facebook login page, enter the email address and password for your Facebook account.
   2. Click Log In.
   Note: The account you use must be an admin of the Facebook page that you want to authorize.
7. In the displayed window, click Continue as <YOUR NAME>.
8. In the page selection window for your Facebook page application, select the checkbox for the Facebook page that you will use with your Pega Platform application, and then click Next.
9. Review the permissions for your Facebook page, and then click Done.
   This action ensures that you give permission to your Facebook page app to send and receive messages on behalf of the IVA channel.
   Result: The window displays information that your Facebook page is now linked to your Digital Messaging channel.
10. Click OK.
    Result: The system displays information that the authorization for your Facebook page was successful, and displays a list of all of your configured messaging platforms.
11. Optional: To display the Get Started button in the Facebook Messenger, turn on the Messenger Get Started Button switch.
    The Get Started button displays to the user on the Facebook Messenger welcome screen. When a user clicks the button, the system sends the Get Started message to the conversation and the system grants the chatbot permission to send messages. Because Facebook provides the Get Started button, you cannot customize the button.

    The system displays the Get Started button only when users for the first time begin a conversation in Facebook Messenger with your Facebook page. The system displays the Get Started button when both the user starts a conversation directly in Facebook Messenger or the user performs a channel switch from Web Messaging to Facebook Messenger.

    Note: The system automatically enables the Get Started button for the connected Facebook pages in Digital Messaging Manager, when you add the page to the channel switch options for your Web Messaging channel.
12. Close the browser window, and then in the Digital Messaging channel, click Save.
