Set Up Your Meta Developer Account
- Visit the Meta for Developers website and create an account if you don't have one.
- Once logged in, go to the App Dashboard and create a new app. Choose the type of app appropriate for your use case, usually a "Business" or similar app for integration.
- Once your app is created, you will be provided with an App ID and App Secret. Save these credentials somewhere secure, as you'll need them for integration.
Create a Wix Account and Website
- Sign up for a Wix account if you don't have one. Navigate to your dashboard.
- Create a new website using Wix's website builder. Choose a template that suits your needs and edit it as required.
- Make sure to publish the website so that it is live; this will be necessary for testing the integration.
Install a Custom Code App on Wix
- In the Wix editor, go to the App Market and search for an application that allows the addition of custom code, such as "HTML iFrame/Embed" or Wix's "Custom Element."
- Add the application to your website. Make sure it has the capability to embed third-party services with HTML/JavaScript.
Embed Meta AI Code on Wix
- In the Meta for Developers dashboard, locate the relevant Meta AI services you want to use. These could be Messenger, Instagram APIs, etc.
- For services like Messenger, you may get a script or integration code snippet that needs to be embedded in your website.
- Open the custom code app in your Wix editor and paste the script or HTML provided by Meta AI.
<!-- Example code snippet -->
<div class="fb-messenger">
<script>
// Sample code from Meta AI for Messenger
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
</div>
Configure App Settings on Meta Platform
- Return to your Meta Developer Dashboard and go to "Settings" for your specific app.
- Under "Basic," fill in your Wix website URL in the Site URL field. Ensure your website is using HTTPS as Meta often requires secure endpoints.
- Make sure other settings are configured, including any necessary permissions, to allow your app to function correctly.
Test Your Meta Integration
- On your Wix website, check if the embedded component appears and functions as intended, whether it's a chatbot, comment section, or another Meta AI service.
- Test all features rigorously to ensure they work without issues, including sending messages via a chat widget or other interactive elements provided by Meta.
Troubleshoot Common Issues
- If the integration does not work, check the browser console for errors and ensure your app credentials are entered correctly.
- Verify that third-party cookies are enabled and there are no ad-blockers or privacy settings preventing Meta scripts from functioning.
- Consult the Meta Developer documentation for additional troubleshooting tips or error code references specific to your integration setup.
