According to this documentation (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/reference/send-api/) there will need to be a "messaging_type" property needed to be added to the payload for use on Facebook Messenger bots. Will this be automatically injected into the payload, or is this something we need to handle as a developer?
I stumbled upon this as I am researching how to add certain "tags" to the payload for pro-active messaging.
This issue Will Bot Framework support Facebook messaging_types? states the messaging_type is already set on every message and by default it's set to 'Response' and you can change this using ChannelData.
FranciscoPonceGomez on GitHub
We already support It. It defaults to ‘Response’ and can be changed via ‘messaging_type’ in channeldata.
I will send you a link with the updated documentation soon.
In C# you set the messaging_type like this:
activity.ChannelData = JObject.FromObject(new
{
messaging_type = "MESSAGE_TAG"
});
If you have successfully set the tag could you post your solution as it would really be of help to me and others :-)

After many tries, I'm not getting how we can use the Facebook API to create a simple Ad based on a Post (and it's creative) like it is possible in the Business Manager.
For example, my last attempt failed due to a problem with Instagram:
Facebook API: Instagram Account Is Missing
If there is anybody that has been able to create a basic Ad (within a given or new AdSet) based on a Post, please help me. I've seen many questons like this (especially regarding the Instagram problem) and now I'd like to have a working solution.
What exact requests have to be done or isn't it possible at all?
THe Instagram placement is added by default in the targeting, so if you want to skip it you need to specify in the targeting field when creating the adSet in the publisher field:
{
"geo_locations":{"countries":["US"]},
publisher_platforms: ['facebook'],
facebook_positions: ['feed', 'right_hand_column'],
device_platforms: ['mobile', 'desktop']
}
If you want to publish on Instagram also you should also provide an instagram actor ID: The AdsCreative should contain an extra field named instagram_actor_id also remember to add Instagram in the related targeting:
{
"geo_locations":{"countries":["US"]},
publisher_platforms: ['facebook','instagram'],
facebook_positions: ['feed', 'right_hand_column'],
instagram_positions: ['stream', 'story'],
device_platforms: ['mobile', 'desktop']
}

Let me know if you need more info or an answer or your other question about Instragam
The Facebook SDK has the ability to record both custom events and standard events. The standard events are things like "Purchases" "Add to cart" "Completed Registration" etc...
Recording these standard events gives you access to specific bidding features on Facebook ads that you don't get without the events.
I have an app that has the React Native FBSDK
There are two methods for defining an event - one for purchases and one for everything else as seen here
There is zero documentation for standard events on react within the SDK on Github or on the event tracking docs on Facebook's developer platform.
Right now I'm trying to track the standard events by using their various names, as recorded across FB's documentation. I've tried the following:
AppEventsLogger.logEvent('FBSDKAppEventNameCompletedRegistration');
AppEventsLogger.logEvent('CompletedRegistration');
AppEventsLogger.logEvent('Completed Registration');
All of these just create custom events with those names, but aren't recognized as standard events.
Has anyone gotten standard events to work using the React Native wrapper for the FB SDK? If so how do you name the events to get FB to recognize them?
Update: As the comment below highlights, the more recent link is https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/app-event-api/
It looks like you'll have to pass the strings that those standard events get evaluated to, i.e. instead of 'FBSDKAppEventNameCompletedRegistration', you'll have to use: 'fb_mobile_complete_registration'.
Here's the source:
Sorry if this is a bit late. Hope this helps.
I managed to find the actual event name by generating standard event code using tool on Facebook's documentation, run the code in AppDelegate.m, and get the exact key-values from Events Manager. With this roundabout way, I realized the actual name of Add to Cart event was fb_mobile_add_to_cart. From there I googled for the name and found the list documented in Marketing API (why not App Events?).
I don't know if it is the right place, but you can refer to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/app-event-api/ for actual standard event names and parameter names. At least it worked in my case. Here's my Add to Cart event code:
function logAddToCart(totalPrice, contentType, contentId, currency) {
const params = {
'fb_content_type': contentType,
'fb_content_id': contentId,
'fb_currency': currency
};
AppEventsLogger.logEvent('fb_mobile_add_to_cart', totalPrice, params);
}
I made a simple package with all events. Just import like
import FBEvents from "react-native-fbsdk-events";
// ...
AppEventsLogger(FBEvents.COMPLETE_REGISTRATITON, params);
I need to create Saved Target Group in facebook programmatically like PowerEditor does it here https://www.facebook.com/ads/manage/powereditor.
During inspecting the browser's console when saving through the Power Editor I've discovered that such kind of an endpoint is used:
"https://graph.facebook.com/v2.2/act_#AD_ACCOUNT_ID#/audiences", but the method called is encrypted and there is no information about this kind of endpoint in the facebook API documentation.
Seems like Power Editor uses more extended API or not all the API is well documented.
Did anybody experience something similar?
Thanks
Not all of the functionality available in Power Editor is available in the public API or vice versa -
If what you're asking about is not in the public API documentation, it's not part of the API that is available publicly -
It would be dangerous to assume that an undocumented endpoint will continue to work or that it works in a specific way based on observing another app (Power Editor) calling it
You can use saved_audiences API.
Here is Graph Explorer request examples:
POST:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/765026780221012?method=POST&path=act_&Fsaved_audiences&version=v2.5&name=foo&targeting={ "age_min":18, "age_max":65, "page_types":[ "desktop-and-mobile-and-external" ], "geo_locations":{ "countries":[ "US" ], "location_types":[ "home" ] } }
GET ALL:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/765026780221012?method=GET&path=act_%2Fsaved_audiences&version=v2.5
I am using Graph API in my application. I am fetching user's facebook wall feeds using graph API also getting details of particular post i.e (Like count,Comments etc).
but i want to allow user to Like and Comment any post from the application itself.
what is the request format for that?
Please help me or give any pointers.

You would be well served to check out the Publishing section of the documentation. It provides information such as this.
One example is liking, which is defined as:
Method: /OBJECT_ID/likes
Description: Like the given object (if it has a /likes connection)
Arguments: none
Basically, just initiate a Graph API call to something like:
[facebookObject requestWithGraphPath:#"98423808305/likes" andDelegate:self];
That will "like" a picture from Coca-Cola (ID taken from the documentation).
Edit 1
According to the documentation:
Most write operations require extended permissions for the active user. See the authentication guide for details on how you can request extended permissions from the user during the authentication step.
Are you sure you have enough privileges? Unfortunately the documentation is very unclear as to whether it serves the dual purpose of liking the object and returning the likes already on that object.
Edit 2
I did some more research into what could be causing this and came across this question and answer that indicated that the code I posted above using requestWithGraphPath:: should work. However, it does not due to a bug on Facebook's Bug Tracker.
Unfortunately, it looks like there is no way to "like" an object via the Graph API, which seems very strange to me. Perhaps it is possible with the legacy REST API instead of the Graph API?
Edit 3
Well, it looks like your best bet is the stream.addLike method of the legacy REST API which you can still call using the Facebook iOS SDK. You should be able to use the stream.addLike method to "like" something in the "stream". Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to support photos, videos, etc. Only posts and comments.
Finally i found the solution for LIKE option
We should use following method for like option.
-(void) requestWithGraphPath:(NSString *)graphPath
andParams:(NSMutableDictionary *)params
andHttpMethod:(NSString *)httpMethod
andDelegate:(id <FBRequestDelegate>)delegate
graphPath = /OBJECT_ID/likes
Paramas = dictionary with comment ,for like option use empty dictionary
HttpMethod should be POST
you should get response = true if the LIKE request is successful.
Well i started of by following all the instructions here:
http://code.google.com/p/xmppframework/wiki/FacebookChatHowTo
I used the recommended fork of the facebook api and tried the latest from:
https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/
My problem starts with the following error:
< failure xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl">< not-authorized/></failure>
The error is a reply from facebook to xmppframework s response to a authentication challenge. The response that is made by the iphone is base64 encoded msg when i decode it i find 2 of the values are null:
api_key=(null)
and the
session_key=(null)
This is obviously the reason facebook is returning that error. But the problem i have is i cant seem to find any where to set these values in the framework. Besides i think the session_key should be pulled in from facebook anyway.
I guess what i want to know is a couple of things.
Has any one got the xmppframework working with facebook on a iDevice?
If you have got it working did you have to stray from the path of the instructions on http://code.google.com/p/xmppframework/wiki/FacebookChatHowTo ?
do you know of any other method to get facebook chat working on the iphone?
Any suggestions or help for my current dilemma would be appreciated. Happy to share my code if you want.
cheers
I wrote the Facebook integration for XMPPFramework. The api_key and session_key, come from a call to auth.PromoteSession. Facebook is trying to deprecate that call, so to enable it, you must follow step 7, in the HowTo:
Under Migrations, change Disable Deprecated Auth Methods from Enabled to Disabled and Save Changes.
