🔧 What This Automation Does (Step-by-Step)

1️⃣ Fetches Facebook Messages Automatically

Runs on a schedule and pulls new Facebook Page conversations using the Facebook Graph API.

2️⃣ Structures Message Data

Extracts:

• Message text

• Sender name

• Sender ID

• Timestamp

All data is formatted cleanly for AI processing.

3️⃣ AI Classification Using GPT-4

• Lead

• Query

• Spam

The AI also generates:

• A short summary

• A suggested reply

• A confidence score

4️⃣ Smart Routing Logic

Messages are routed automatically:

• Leads → Slack approval

• Queries → Slack approval

• Spam → logged only

No unnecessary notifications.

5️⃣ Slack Approval System (Human-in-the-Loop)

Your team receives a Slack message with:

• AI summary

• Suggested reply

• Confidence score

You can:

• ✅ Approve → reply is sent automatically

• ❌ Reject → fallback reply is sent

This ensures zero AI mistakes in customer conversations.

6️⃣ Sends Replies Back to Facebook Messenger

Approved messages are sent instantly using the Facebook Graph API.

Fallback replies are used when needed.

7️⃣ Logs Everything in Google Sheets

Every interaction is logged for:

• Sales tracking

• Support auditing

• Performance analysis

You get a clean, searchable history of all conversations.
