Facebook Channel Component not available in Market Place

I was searching for Facebook Channel component in Pega marketplace

I was not able to find the component. Is it not available now or is there any restricted access?

I was logged in and also could not find any components available.

I was only able to find other forum posts about facebook integration in general:

Facebook Chat Bot Configuration

Integration with Facebook

How to Integrate Facebook with PEGA

How to unlock Facebook Channel Component

How to post updates to Facebook from Pega Platform

Configuring the Facebook channel

can you tell us if you saw any documentation where a Facebook Channel component was referenced in the Pega Marketplace?

@MarijeSchillern I saw the that in an external site documentation

@VenkataViswanathJ8268 thanks. I’ll try to obtain an SME input for this.

Hi,

Facebook Channel Component is a legacy solution, no more supported. It was replaced by Digital Messaging, which gives Platform and chatbot integration with more broader group of social media like Facebook, Twitter, Apple Business Chat, WhatsApp and Twillio. If you are using Pega Platform 8.7, I suggest using Digital Messaging.
