RE: Automating your Facebook presence using a Facebook bot

With a Basic account the bot will only check its posts once per day, normally around 1am ET (Montreal).
Make sure you wait 24-48 hours to see your bot post.

You can also upgrade the account to Gold or Platinum for the bot to check its posts more frequently.

If you cannot the bot to Facebook Messenger it will respond to messages immediately in realtime. Polling is only done for page posts and comments.
