Messenger Platform

A Page Messenger welcome screen can display a Get Started button. When this button is tapped, the Messenger Platform will send a messaging_postbacks event to your webhook. Pages that add the button may also configure their greeting text.

get_started is a property of the Messenger Profile API. For information on retrieving, setting, updating, and deleting get_started, see the Messenger Profile API Reference.

The welcome screen is only shown the first time the user interacts with the Page on Messenger.
