Sending message using a Facebook driver instance about botman

[filippotoso]

Botman loads the needed driver depending on the request parameters. If it's not a request from Facebook, the driver will not be loaded.

Use a code like this:

use BotMan\Drivers\Facebook\FacebookDriver;

$driver = new FacebookDriver(
    request(),
    [
        'facebook' => config('botman.facebook') ?? [],
    ],
    new Curl()
);

$payload = [
    'access_token' => 'INCLUDE YOUR ACCESS TOKEN',
    'messaging_type' => 'RESPONSE',
    'recipient' => [
        'id' => $recipient
    ],
    'message' => [
        'text' => $message
    ]
];

$driver->sendPayload($payload);

Check the Facebook Driver sources or the official Messenger documentation to verify which fields are required in the payload.
