Facebook Messenger?

Facebook Messenger is a messaging application developed by Facebook. It was first released on August 16, 2011 and became available for download in App Store in August 22, 2011 and Google Play Market on October 22, 2011. In the first two years since its launch, Facebook Messenger has transformed itself from a social application to be a commercial top. The unique characteristic of Facebook Messenger is that it is integrated with the Facebook app on mobile devices. Users can view their Facebook messages together with their Facebook friends’ updates. They can also send private messages over the internet or even call each other for free without worrying about the high cost of SMS. (Thorson, 2014)

Webhooks by Connect is a software development kit (SDK. which enables a merchant to establish a virtual connection to any business system or website via webhooks. Webhooks by Connect enables users to create an automated communication channel for all sorts of events or “events” between the merchant and the bank. The channel establishes a connection between the two parties when specific events happen, such as when a certain transaction has been processed or when a user logs into a merchant’s website. The connection delivers real-time information about these events. This event-based communication can take place over the internet or over secure communications channels such as HTTPS. If users want to connect to the bank’s systems, they do not need to develop and maintain infrastructure for each bank they want to connect with. Webhooks by Connect simply requires them to implement a simple JavaScript code in their web pages. (Connect, 2016)
