We hope the video sheds some light on the JSON code generator feature. If that went a bit too fast for your taste, please see the rest of the article about the JSON Code Generator Page.
JSON Code Generator Features
With the JSON Code Generator feature, you can string multiple messages (up to 5 as per the Facebook limit) together and convert them into a JSON code. It enables you to use your existing messages in conjunction with those nifty Messenger Ads. This saves you a ton of work, a better overview, as it gives you an easy way to set it all up. You’ll find all your messages, you can use to compile a JSON code with, stored inside the table at Capture > JSON Code Generator. The table will be empty if you haven’t set up any messages (or flows) yet.
