How to start a conversation with a Facebook bot from a webpage?

The objective I have is to start a conversation with a bot on Facebook, but open it from our website.

I want to know how to link the bot page to a button and start a conversation in a new tab or a similar option. Just to clarify I dont want to have an embedded chat, I want to chat with the bot on the Facebook page.

Thanks.

I found a working solution to my problem. Its a button, it can make the bot start a conversation with you sending something (I don't know yet) that makes the bot answer with a Null LUIS intent. The other thing that works is a button that opens a new chat with the bot on Messenger.
