The Chatfuel modules allow you to create broadcast messages and send JSON responses from your Chatfuel account.
Prerequisites
- A Facebook account through which you connect Chatfuel
- A Facebook page
In order to use Chatfuel with Make, it is necessary to have a Chatfuel account. If you do not have one, you can create a Chatfuel account at [https://chatfuel.com/](https://chatfuel.com/).
## Triggers
### JSON Listener
Listens for incoming messages from Chatfuel's JSON API plugin. The enclosing Make has to be run once, in order for user attributes from Chatfuel to become visible and available for mapping.
### Connecting to JSON Webhook
1. Go to Make and open the JSON Listener module. Enter a name for the webhook and click *Save*.
2. Copy the URL to the clipboard.
3. Log into your Chatfuel account, select the bot, and then select *Automate*.
4. Open the block containing the JSON API, select the Type as *POST*, and enter the URL copied in step 2.
The connection has been established.
Now you can start building the Make in Make.
Sending a response is as simple as inserting a **JSON Response** module in the Make's data flow.
Following is an example Make which uses filters to send a personalized greeting if a user's first name is available, and a generic greeting otherwise.
With this Make setup, sending the first name as part of the user attributes from Chatfuel causes the default "Hello, Anonymous" response to instead include the user's first name.
