Facebook Webhook Subscriptions (Alerts)

Webhooks allow you to receive real-time notifications of changes to your Facebook page. For example, you can get notification whenever users post to your feed, comment on a post, like your posts or fill up lead form.

There are two steps for setting up Webhooks.

Step 1: Verification Request

Inside the Facebook developer platform, navigate to:  Use Cases > Customize Pages API >  Webhooks

Then, select product as page. In the Callback URL, enter the following:

https://your-domain.com/index.php?option=com_tftools&task=facebook.webhook&format=raw

In the verify token, enter the value as the Cron Token in the component options.

Click "Verify and save" button.

Step 2: Subscribe to Event Notifications
