how to send a message from facebook page to user
from fbmq import Attachment, Template, QuickReply, Page
page.send(recipient_id, "hello world!")
jpg, png, gif support
page.send(recipient_id, Attachment.Image(image_url))
page.send(recipient_id, Attachment.Audio(audio_url))
page.send(recipient_id, Attachment.Video(video_url))
page.send(recipient_id, Attachment.File(file_url))
quick_replies = [
QuickReply(title="Action", payload="PICK_ACTION"),
QuickReply(title="Comedy", payload="PICK_COMEDY")
]
# you can use a dict instead of a QuickReply class
#
# quick_replies = [{'title': 'Action', 'payload': 'PICK_ACTION'},
# {'title': 'Comedy', 'payload': 'PICK_COMEDY'}]
page.send(recipient_id,
"What's your favorite movie genre?",
quick_replies=quick_replies,
metadata="DEVELOPER_DEFINED_METADATA")
you can define easily a quick reply callback method.
@page.callback(['PICK_ACTION', 'PICK_COMEDY'])
def callback_picked_genre(payload, event):
print(payload, event)
# Also supported regex, it works corretly
# @page.callback(['PICK_(.+)'])
if you want to handle only quick_reply callback without button postback
@page.callback(['PICK_ACTION', 'PICK_COMEDY'], types=['QUICK_REPLY'])

page.send(recipient_id, Template.Buttons("hello", buttons))
you can define easily a button postback method (it works only postback type buttons).

def callback_clicked_button(payload, event):
print(payload, event)
# Also supported regex, it works corretly
