Is there any way to post messages received in an email, directly as a Facebook post?
If yes, how can I do that?
I want to automate a page in Fb to spend less time there
Yes, one way of doing it would be to create a service or scheduled task which periodically does the following:
Use gmail API to get all unread messages
Each message will have an ID and you are able to check whether it has been read
Use the IDs to retrieve the message bodies
Use Facebook API to post the body data to the page
You can use Ballerina to create a stand-alone program or a service that you can invoke when it's needed. Use the facebook connector to get a list of comments and posts from your facebook page, create a payload string and send it to a destination email using the gmail connector. Look at the samples shipped with the distribution to get a head start.

I would like to know that we are having a lead generation campaign running on Facebook but few of the times our staff isn't available to answer the query on Facebook messenger, so based on that short-coming I am thinking to devise a mechanism that "If within 1 hour of user's message no one replies to him then an automated BOT message should get sent to him."
Please don't deprecate this question as it is based entirely on knowledge. And if perhaps someone has hints or links on how to achieve this thing then I will really appreciate it.
Thanks.
Some options:
You can query your /conversations edge every X minutes to detect when there is a message from a user which has not been replied to, then you would send the automated message using Send API.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v10.0/conversation
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/reference/send-api/
You can use webhook data for incoming messages to create a task that will run at received_time + 60 minutes, find the thread in your conversations edge based on PSID and then check if there has been a reply
Alternatively you can check out Handover Protocol which allows a Page to simultaneously use a Messenger Bot and Live chat agent to handle messaging

My goal is to make a website, in which user could customize a photo and then provide his friends indicators like name or id. My next task is to fetch that info from database and send messages on specific date to provided users. Ex birthday wishes, greetings, and so on.
I studied facebook send api for a few days now and couldn't find solution for myself. If I want to send message, I need to have Page-scoped id of user, which is acquired when the person text you first, which is not desired, because person wouldn't know what it is.
Also I was looking into Customer matching API, also seems to require the same PSID. The next thing I checked was Send Dialog API, which seems to send messages instantly, but not on the specific date. Also I checked unofficial facebook-chat-api, which asks for user ID, whereas I can find my id, I couldn't find ids of my friends.
So I just want to know is it even possible, if yes, I'd really appreciate your help.
User to User communication is not possible (and not allowed) in an automatic way, there is no API for it except for the Send Dialog. The Messenger platform is for page to user communication only.
Do not use inofficial tools, they are not allowed and might get you banned.
I would need to write a script in order to automate this task:
Monitor new likes on a Facebook Page periodically.
When a new like is detected, identify the person who gave it
Send them a private message, thanking them and pointing them to additional resources that may be of their interest.
Would this be feasible using the Facebook API? The documentation strikes me as a little unwelcoming for the casual observer, and I'm not sure whether this is impossible or it's just that I haven't dived deep enough. Are the three steps above doable using the API?
You can use a cron job to get the number of likes of a Page with the /page-id endpoint.
You can´t get the fans of a Page with the API, and you can´t get the "last liker" either.
Auto-sending and message prefilling is not allowed (it would be spam anyway), and you can only reply to use messages as a Page. You can´t initiate a conversation.
I would like to know how to send Multiple Direct message on Twitter. In my app using twitter api, i am able to send Direct message to one( Using DM Syntax ).
Currently i can see some tools like MultiDM website allows to send multiple Direct messages at a time.
So is that possible from iPhone's twitter api?
Also i wonder how the MultiDM website works as such
Pls let me know
In twitter API there is only 1 method of sending a DM: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/direct_messages/new
If you need to send multiple DM's - just call this method multiple times (with different recipient)
Yes you cant send DM to more than one user in a single call of the API.
If you want to send DM to multiple users, just make an array of all users id or screen name and in a loop send direct messages to All through the below API...
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1/post/direct_messages/new
In a Facebook application, is there anyway I can let a user send a message to another user (to his Inbox)? Even if there is no direct access, is there some kind of a link structure I can use such as:
"facebook.com/example?sendTO=user-id" that will prompt a facebook popup to send a message a user?

You can't send a message to another user via facebook's apis as no function exist for this. The only way to send personal and private messages are via emails (proxified or not), then the user must install your application and accept to share its email.
Just add "messages" in between the link:
If the persons id is https://www.facebook.com/some.one.007 then write
https://www.facebook.com/messages/some.one.007
Thats it.
