I want to add an Instagram button that allow a user to share a link directly inside a direct message: when they click the button, they will be redirected to their friend list and choose the receiver, then click the send button (the input field should include the URL).
I'm unable to find something like the WhatsApp API (like https://whatsapp.com/send?text=message) or Facebook send dialog.
I found instagram-private-api but I'm looking to use a Facebook API or dialog for that instead.
Is there any useful link or suggestion for that?
I am redirecting the user from my website to 3rd party FB messanger bot. Let us take an example of a weather bot. The simple workflow is:
1. User click on the bot link .
2. User is on messanger bot page.
3. User types in his city name say Zurich and gets the weather report for it.
In my scenario I already know user's city i.e. Zurich. Is it possible for me to send city name (text message) along with redirect to weather bot so that user does not have to type it. I already looked into send api, but can't figure it out.
If you redirect to the bot with an m.me link you can include the city in the ref param. The ref is delivered to your webhook in a messaging_referrals or messaging_postbacks event, depending on whether the chat is new or existing. The bot can then parse that ref and return the appropriate message.

We need to allow the user of our site to post a clickable link to Facebook. More precisely --
we need to pre-fill one of the Facebook plug-ins with a clickable link on behalf of the user.
We cannot rely on the user to type in this link themselves.
We researched this and the Share functionality seemed to offer that but FB has deprecated Share:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share/
We successfully implemented the Send button (see here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/send/)
The Send button though does not allow us to post a clickable link. While the user of our site
can click 'Send' on our site, and the Send dialog then pops up -- we cannot 'pre-fill' the Send dialog box
with a click-able link.
Is there a way to post a clickable link to Facebook (other than the now-deprecated Share) ?
Just an idea,
Instead, why wouldn't you implement send message using Send Dialog
Some thing like this(fiddle)
Hope this is helps
I would like to know if theres a way to make my app send any type of message/notification to a user with a certain uid. Anything but posting to the users wall will be ok.
You can request the email extended permission to get the current user's email address and you can email them that way. To send a message to a users friends (without posting to their wall), the only current option is the requests dialog in the javascript sdk.
Did you gave Send Dialog a try, here is the link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/send/
The only limitation is you have to have a url along with. The notification goes in the message timeline. Basically it is meant for sending content, not bare messages.
Everything I've read says that you can't send messages but in RockMelt you can send your friend a beta invite through Facebook messages.
Are they using a preview of the Inbox API? Is there another way they're doing this?
This was taken from an answer on Quora that Eric Vishria the CEO of Rockmelt said:
"If a user wants to invite a friend who has not signed up on our site, we generate a download link, and pre-populate a Facebook message (in our own UI) that the user can edit/tailor and click Send, or copy and send via some other means (email, chat...).
We do not auto-send Facebook messages and the messages aren't from us, they are user to user.
If a user invites a friend who has signed up on our site (via the "Hook 'em up" button) that sends a notification to our backend that a user has been hooked up and we send that friend an email that such and such user has hooked them up. We are able to do this because when users sign up on our website, they connect via Facebook and authorize our application to send them email.
We spent a lot of time making the system not spammy (no auto posts to feeds, no automatic emails, etc....) where invites go to people who want them or users have to take an explicit action to tell their friends about it."

To send a message to a friend you can use the Send Dialog, similar to the Feed dialog that will post to the wall but it lets the user select one or more friends and send a message:
