Stay up to date with our new Facebook Messenger bot

You can now get all Mealime blog posts and announcements sent directly to you in Facebook Messenger.

Here’s what the new Messenger bot looks like:

Give it a try by clicking the button below or by visiting m.me/Mealime.

We made this bot to give you another option (other than email) to stay informed about Mealime developments.

We use email just as much as everyone else. But lately we’ve noticed that we don’t open many of the emails we receive. And we’re not even talking about emails we don’t want to receive — these are all emails we signed up for and want to read.

Have you found this as well?

Instead, we find ourselves texting and using chat applications to communicate with friends and businesses and, increasingly, to consume information.

This Messenger chatbot is just another way to stay informed with developments here at Mealime HQ — new features, announcements, recipes, stories, and more.

Right now it will do a couple of tasks well. It will:

  1. Allow you to subscribe to blog posts, and will send you a message when a new post goes live.
  2. Point you in the direction of our support documentation, user community, website, and app download links.

We’ll be working to make the bot more intelligent in the future. For now, give it a try and let us know what you want to see from the bot. For example, do you want it to be able to recommend recipes? To open a live chat with one of us? To shame you into cooking more often? 😉

Let us know in the comments!


I’d like to thank Matthew Barby for his recent chatbot article (and example chatbot) that inspired us to give this a try. Also thanks to Chatfuel for making it so easy to build a chatbot.
