Getting Started

Everything you need to set up Elizabeth.ai for your Facebook business.

Quick Start (5 minutes)

  1. Create your Elizabeth.ai account at elizabeth.ai/signup
  2. Connect your Facebook Page in Settings → Integrations tab
  3. Add your products in Inventory → Add Product
  4. Customize your bot persona in Settings → AI Persona tab
  5. Post on your Facebook Page and watch Elizabeth handle orders automatically

Connecting Your Facebook Page

Elizabeth.ai connects to your Facebook Page via the Facebook Graph API. Here's what happens:

  1. You grant Elizabeth.ai permission to manage your Page's messages and comments
  2. We store your Page ID and a long-lived access token (60-day expiry, auto-refreshed)
  3. We subscribe to your Page's webhook events: comments, messages, and reactions

⚠ Token expiry

Tokens expire every 60 days. Elizabeth.ai auto-refreshes them via a daily cron job. If you change your Facebook password or revoke app permissions, reconnect via Settings.

Adding Products & Inventory

Each product needs at minimum a name and price. Optional fields:

  • Taglish name — alternate Filipino name used by the parser (e.g. “manok” for chicken, “damit” for clothing, “sapatos” for shoes)
  • Category — groups products on your public menu page
  • Image / Video — displayed on your public menu page and in Messenger order summaries
  • Estimated fulfillment time — e.g. “15-20 mins” for food, “1-2 days” for shipped products — shown to customers when enabled
  • Featured — highlight up to 10 products on your public menu (great for bestsellers)
  • Stock quantity — enables live inventory tracking and oversell prevention

Tip: Name products exactly how customers refer to them (e.g. “Longganisa” not “Product #1”, or “Oversized Hoodie (Black)” not “SKU-4521”) — this dramatically improves parsing accuracy.

Product Add-Ons & Modifiers

Add-ons let you attach priced modifiers to products. When a customer includes a keyword in their order message, Elizabeth automatically adds the modifier and adjusts the total.

Examples:

  • “extra gravy” → +₱10 (food)
  • “large” → +₱20 (food size upgrade)
  • “gift wrap” → +₱30 (any product)
  • “express shipping” → +₱50 (any product)
  • “warranty” → +₱99 (electronics)

Go to Inventory → Add-Ons to create add-ons. Each add-on has a keyword, a display label, and a price. Add-ons can apply to a specific product or across your whole catalog.

Customizing Your Bot Persona

Go to Settings → AI Persona to configure:

  • Bot name — what the bot calls itself (default: “Elizabeth”)
  • Personality — friendly, professional, casual, etc.
  • Language style — Pure Filipino, Taglish, or English
  • Emoji level — None, minimal, moderate, or heavy
  • Greeting & sign-off — custom message templates
  • Avoid topics — list topics the bot should decline to discuss

Understanding Your Dashboard

Your dashboard has:

  • Orders — real-time Kanban: New → Confirmed → Preparing → Ready → Delivered
  • Inventory — stock levels with low-stock indicators and audit log
  • Delivery — manage deliveries across own riders, couriers, or pickup
  • Customers — CRM with order history, tags, lifetime value, and suki (loyal customer) markers
  • Analytics — revenue, order volume, top products, customer growth
  • Parse Review — queue of low-confidence or flagged order parses; staff can correct errors to improve future accuracy
  • Notifications — real-time alerts for new orders, low stock, parse failures, and subscription events

Managing Staff Accounts

Add staff members in Settings → Staff Accounts. Staff can:

  • View and manage orders
  • Update inventory
  • View the customer CRM

Staff cannot access billing or Facebook integration — those are owner-only. Admins can update store settings. The number of staff accounts depends on your plan tier.

Delivery Tracking Setup

Configure delivery options in Settings → Delivery tab:

  • Delivery modes — Own Riders (your own staff), Third-party Courier, or Store Pickup
  • Delivery fees — set a flat fee per mode (Pickup is always free)

Once an order moves to “Ready” status, Elizabeth.ai can automatically send the customer a delivery update via Messenger using their OTN token (if granted).
