    - Set your `FB_PAGE_ID` from `https://www.facebook.com/<YOUR PAGE USERNAME>/info?tab=page_info`.
- Create a Facebook App [here](https://developers.facebook.com/quickstarts/?platform=web). 
    - After you create an app ID and enter you email, press

    - Set your `FB_PAGE_TOKEN` environment variable as the page access token you copied. This will allow your bot to send as your page.
    - Pick an alphanumeric string and set it as your `FB_VERIFY_TOKEN`.
