Facebook Messenger integration with Cisco Unified CCX Web Chat (via Cisco SocialMiner)

• Node
• Facebook Messenger Platform
• Botly
• Cisco SocialMiner
• Cisco Unified CCX
• ngrok
• 💙

While this app is ready to be hosted on Heroku (see Procfile), it can be hosted on any application/hosting environment or container framework.

The only considerations for the infrastructure are public addressibility and connectivity with

• facebook.com
• your SocialMiner instance

Cisco SocialMiner should ideally be deployed on the DMZ such that it can be addressible and connected from anywhere in the public Internet, as well as have a direct connectivity into the enterprise network where Unified CCX servers and Agents are located.

If your organization has not deployed SocialMiner in the DMZ, you will need to use a forwarding/reverse proxy (such as ngrok or nginx.

See the Getting Started guides by Facebook on how to create a facebook app (bot), acquire required tokens etc.
