I am currently making an app that can integrate facebook messages specifically send and receive facebook messages using Web API Component, I found that to send a message you have to submit a post request to the API with your page access token appended to the URL query string `https://graph.facebook.com/v4.0/me/messages?access_token=` but the body of the HTTP request is sent in JSON format, so I convert this JSON ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/d/7d6c63c45deffbea6aa4573611dcd284ace40f76.png) to a block that thunkable can read and ended up making these blocks ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/d/4dec0d871df17cc2b86f91dbf73020b4650cdcbd.png) I’ve tried testing it but I get an error message (#100) The parameter recipient is required, I am very confuse at this point, what should I do? is there another way to send and receive facebook message? ---
