Auto Registering Handlers and Packages

Update your .env

BOT_AUTO_REGISTER_ALL=true

Manually Registering Handlers and Bot Packages

• Inside your MessengerServiceProvider (or any of your providers), you must register all bot handlers and bot packages you want enabled in your application.
• You can use the MessengerBots facade to register the handlers and packages. Be sure you do it inside the boot method.

Example:

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use RTippin\Messenger\Facades\MessengerBots;
use RTippin\MessengerBots\Bots\ChuckNorrisBot;
use RTippin\MessengerBots\Bots\CoinTossBot;

    public function boot(): void
