I use facebook SDK javascript to post a message from a website to my wall on facebook.
When I post, I can choose the users who can read my message.
Can I change the script to send a message directly to one or any users automatically?
To send a private message through facebook API is not intended behavior. to prevent spam it is assumed. This can be overcome by sending an email to facebook_username#facebook.com and it will appear as an instant message to the user. This is NOT an intended solution however and it is EXPRESSLY discouraged in the facebook docs.

Is there a way how I can send regular message to facebook page?
I got this:
https://github.com/Schmavery/facebook-chat-api
but it is unofficial.
When I've tried to send several messages sending account was blocked.
I have not found any info about limits or anything else connected to sending messages to Facebook pages.
In official Facebook documentation regarding messaging API there is nothing about sending message to Page. As bot is acting as Facebook Page itself I suppose it can't send message to another Facebook Page.
There is no API to send user to page messages, you can only send messages from page to user. And only if the receiver started the conversation first.
Don´t use unofficial ways, they are not allowed.
How can I reply to a private message on a fan page using the Facebook Graph API in a Facebook app?
I am able to retrieve private Messages from a fan page
I am able to reply as a user using chat API (User to User only)
I have valid tokens
I have read_mailbox, read_page_mailboxes permissions, and the following permissions to the page too:
ADMINISTER,
EDIT_PROFILE,
CREATE_CONTENT,
MODERATE_CONTENT,
CREATE_ADS,
BASIC_ADMIN
I am doing it as described here.
Some claim to have gotten around this. How have they managed this?
The documentation you linked to answers this question quite clearly.
From the docs:
**How to Reply**
Note that a page can only reply to a user's message. It cannot initiate a private message with a user. Also, a page can respond not more than twice to a user's message before the user has replied back.
You can reply to a user's message by issuing an HTTP POST to /CONVERSATION_ID/messages with the following parameters. A conversation ID look like t_id.216477638451347.
Parameter Description Type Required
message The body of reply string Y
i am working on a facebook application , i need to send a message to user facebook friends , is that possible to send without opening the facebook send message dialog box, because when i use facebook SDK it uses its ui to preview , i also tried using direct url
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=658662621626&name=People%20Argue%20Just%20to%20Win&recipients[0]=466565&link=http://www.redbuffer.com&redirect_uri=http://www.example.net/FB-app/
is their any other method by which i will be able to send private message
to facebook friends
My initial thought is a resounding heck no. The reason? They would open themselves up to spamming if they allowed API's to directly send messages. Just a guess though.
I am new on Facebook API. I want to send message to friend with facebook api. I am developing a desktop application in c#. And I used graph.facebook.com but I can see just some information. I think that to login facebook system and after send message some id. I looked developers.facebook.com but I didnt find useful information. Maybe I looked in wrong way..
I need some advice about it (how to login and send message)
I followed function of messange sendin on google chrome and I saw send.php worked . But I want to use Facebook API
By design Facebook does not allow the API to send messages. You can post on the other users wall, or send them an email.
I've a situation in my application where I need to send apprequests (or any way of sending any request to my users) for both my facebook friends as well as the same application users.
The problem with this is ,
when we are sending apprequests using application itself(using app_access_token) we can't send app requests to my facebook friends who are not yet part of my application ("oAuthException : User must accept TOS" will be thrown).
So when i use the 'Request dialog' (FB.UI app request method) its possible to list/send requests to only FB friends .
So i need a solution for having a method where i can list all my user's FB friends and application users and send apprequest at once to all..
Anybody has tried something like this before?
And also i tried FB.UI (send method) and searched for graph API and also considered option of posting wall message and everything doesn't work both types..
Any help on this?
May I draw your attention to the following Facebook Documentation for AppRequests:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/
You need to have a look at the section headered "Frictionless requests".
From what I understand from this sentence:
Upon first sending a request to a friend from within an app, a user may authorize the app to send subsequent requests to the same friend without prompting for his permission.
It sounds like there is no way to "bulk" send to all of a user's friends, it is on a friend-by-friend basis. It sounds sensible to me, I wouldn't want my all of my Facebook friends to be flooded with invitations either.
You could however opt for prompting the user with the Friend Request interface which is much friendlier to your users... this is available using the Javascript SDK.
