How to disable facebook automatic greeting message on website

Question

I inserted the following code into the head tag. This enabled me to get the Facebook Messenger inside my website.

<!-- Load Facebook SDK for JavaScript -->
      <div id="fb-root"></div>
      <script>
        window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
          FB.init({
            xfbml            : true,
            version          : 'v7.0'
          });
        };

        (function(d, s, id) {
        var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
        if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
        js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
        js.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk/xfbml.customerchat.js';
        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
      }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

      <!-- Your customer chat code -->
      <div class="fb-customerchat"
        attribution=setup_tool
        page_id="XXXXXXXXXX"
  theme_color="#FF5733">
      </div>

However, I am not liking the way that the greeting message automatically pops up whenever a page is loaded. How do I disable the automatic messenger greeting?

        js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
        js.src = 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk/xfbml.customerchat.js';
        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
      }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

        page_id="XXXXXXXXXX"
  theme_color="#FF5733"
           greeting_dialog_display="hide">
