Facebook Bot Not Posting

[aldnav]

I followed https://botman.io/2.0/installation and Tinker works fine.

When I added my Facebook messenger bot, the verification works. When chatting with the bot, I receive the POST request as per Postman and ngrok, it responds 200 OK.

Problem But I don't get actual reply from the bot.

Setup

"require": {
        "php": "^7.1.3",
        "botman/botman": "~2.0",
        "botman/driver-facebook": "^1.9",
        "botman/driver-web": "~1.0",
        "botman/studio-addons": "~1.3",
        "botman/tinker": "~1.0",
        "fideloper/proxy": "^4.0",
        "laravel/framework": "5.7.*",
        "laravel/tinker": "^1.0"
}

Possible cases

• Graph version and endpoint mismatch I am not sure if this matters but I noticed that the endpoint that the bot uses is for v3.0

https://github.com/botman/driver-facebook/commit/d26cb64bcb6087d7a55be3c4d4c0b25ff297fbc6

whereas as of writing new apps acquire v3.2

laravel.log is empty

When I updated the code to spit some logs

# botman.php
$botman->hears('Hi', function ($bot) {
    Log::debug('Scope: Hi');
...

$botman->fallback(function($bot) {
    Log::debug('Scope: Fallback');

It's always

# laravel.log
[2018-12-01 14:49:57] local.DEBUG: Scope: Fallback

        }
    ]
}

Same situation now with Telegram. Also receiving POST request from Telegram, but bot doesn't respond. Did you find any solution or other suggestions?

@aldnav I don't think this is your case, but I had such problem when I forgot to put $botman->listen(); at the end of the method.

I also had a problem with incorrect config.
