How to Promote a Chatbot with Its Username

Pages that already have a vanity URL (unique URLs such as facebook.com/JaspersMarket) already have a username, because a page’s username (@JaspersMarket) and vanity URL are the same. Users can see a username directly on your page, underneath your page title with an @ symbol before it.
