I am developing a chatbot using Amazon lex. It is going to be integrated with facebook messenger in a facebook page. When a user opens the bot for the first time, it says nothing. It listens to user intents. I would like the bot to initiate a conversation and provide the user with a few options(configured in a mysql database in the backend). What is the best way to do this?

There is a get_started event which you can subscribe to with FB Messenger
See the Docs
When triggered, hit your db to get whatever response is appropriate based on the context you have from the event, and anything in your DB.
