We are using Messenger to enable the possibility for people to answer questions from our Upinion groups through their Facebook Messenger. We can create questions through Upinion’s web application and then push these created questions to our Upinion groups which have related group codes and when entered allow the person to subscribe to the group and receive any questions created for it. Therefore to test all the functionalities of this application you first need to join one of our Upinion groups, you can join a group with this group code, "MessengerApproval”.
