I have created a Facebook App and published it today with Canvas Web platform.
The users can authorize the application and I can send notifications to them using the Facebook API that appear on their Facebook account on the Web.
However, it works with the developer user but not with regular users. For regular users the API call to send notifications returns this error response:
{"error":{"message":"(#200) Your app is not approved for content update notification at this time", "type":"OAuthException","code":200,"fbtrace_id":"GPVF+lOxzgp"}}
The application is published and is live. It is for publishing landing pages with videos, when when the user signs up using Facebook, he will get a notification when a new page with a video is published, so he can watch the video inside the Facebook canvas iframe.
What do I need to do to have new content notification approved? I just asked for email and profile permissions and the documentation says it does not need additional permissions to send notifications. So I have not items to submit for review.
I am using this API call described here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/services/appnotifications
It seems I was doing a mistake which as to pass a type parameter set to the content_update value. Removing that parameter solved the problem.

I went through the documentation for creating a chatbot for messenger platform.
All I find there, I need a server, which in the case used as a service for the Facebook platform.
The server also validates the webhook from facebook app.
Now I see, for a chatbot, I need a facebook app, webhook server and definitely a facebook page.
Then I find an application Flow XO, where I only put the page name and the bot is ready.
My question is, how they(flow.xo) can communicate facebook page without a Facebook app(appId, appSecret) and webHook.
My question is, how they can communicate facebook page without a Facebook app(appId, appSecret) and webHook.
They can’t.
They use their server and their app to communicate with the API, on behalf of the users that grant them access to their pages, by providing the necessary permissions when they log in to that app.
Facebook allows to create a Facebook App which integrates multiple chatbots. At Amio, we ask you for permission using Facebook OAuth. When you give us these permissions we send and receive message on your behalf. This allows you to create a chatbot using Amio API without need of creating a Facebook App.
Facebook Page is always needed as this is the entry point of users interacting with your bot. You can check Amio documentation for more detail.
I have a facebook messenger bot that sends a webhook to my web app. People can login to my app via facebook login.
The first user contact is normally with my facebook bot on which they can create a profile. When they make contact I take their facebook id, name, profile pic, etc.
Users can then login with facebook to my web app to enhance their profile.
My problem is facebook uses different scoped ids for messenger and their login.
How can I recognise if a user has already been on my facebook bot if they use my web app, and vice verca.
I think it has something to do with the business mapping api: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/for-business but I'm struggling to understand how it works.
I am sending a get request using:
GET /me?fields=token_for_business
But the docs do not specify the full url to use. I'm also unsure if you can use this in developer mode.
facebook provides an id-matching api
for the app and pages owned by the same business manager. More informations:

I have an application on Facebook and I want to remove user's data from my server when he/she removes my application from here. I was looking for such api on Facebook Technical Documentation but I did not find anything.
Facebook can send your app a notification when a user removes the app, it's called the Deauthorization Callback and sends you the user ID so you know the user removed your app
I have a website where users can log in with the Facebook oAuth API.
Once the user logs in or registers via Facebook it is stored in my database.
But what I'd like to achieve is, once the user goes to his Facebook application settings page and removes my website app permissions, the used should also be deleted from my database.
Is there any work around to this problem, if this is not possible via the Facebook oAuth API?
You can add Deauthorise Callback URL by Navigating to Settings > Advanced section of your application. Whenever a User Deauthorises your Facebook app, Facebook performs a HTTP POST of signed request to your URL. You may use the field user_id to determine which User has deauthorised your app.
Actually, I would do the following:
Add a date to his last log in to your site.
Have cron job check for old, unused accounts.
Send an email to the user's email address (or Facebook message mail) telling him his account is due to expire soon.
Delete account from database.
I've got a Facebook app that allows app "requests" to be sent to other Facebook friends. What I would like to be able to do is then allow users to create status updates/posts that will only be visible to the FB App users who they have sent requests to previously.
I'm trying to do all of this via the FB Javascript API. Is this possible?
Sure you can but you'll have to manage the privacy limitation 'manually' by storing all invites in your own database. The apprequests JS SDK call has a callback that contains a request_id and, more relevant to you - the facebook ids of the user who sent the invite and the user that was invited. You'll have to save that information and then use it when posting.
Here is a link to the facebook documentation on apprequests... All the information you need about the callback and using the apprequests feature is located there...
