I am trying to submit a facebook opengraph action. It is a simple "Read" "Article" action, however when I submit it for approval facebook eventually responds with this error.
"Status: Changes needed
You are trying to submit a custom action which is not permitted. Please delete this action and submit a built-in version of this action instead.
Please make changes below and resubmit for review."
I am not sure what that means, as far as I know it is not a custom action that I created.
Click to create a new action type, and when the text box appears, start typing "read" and then select the option that drops down. That is the built-in read action.
I had the same issue, it seems FB doesn't allow to add built in actions as custom for some unknown reason, may be they have some future plan with them for AI stuff. The only the thing I see in built in read is its very limited.

I have created a simple Google Form with two multiple choice answers (Yes and No). Image below.
The form works fine when I select an answer then click the submit button.
I'm wondering if it's possible to submit the form immediately when an option is selected? Then refresh the page.
I've been reading about triggers here but not sure where to start, or if it's even possible.
Google Forms is my only option at current, I know this is possible via other methods.
Any advice is appreciated.

No, it's not possible. The only trigger that works on the form respondent view is on form submit.
The workaround is to create your own form. If you want to work with Google Apps Script, you should use the HTML Service.
I successfully implemented facebook comments plugin in my website.But it only allows users to post only text data.
I searched a lot but unable to find resources for these question:
How to add upload Image feature to this plugin?
Is there a way to make the uses post he comment just by pressing enter rather than clicking Post button(Remove Post button and make enter keyboard key as default submit button)
Incase the ans is No for any above questions:
Please suggest any plugin's that helps me to achieve those features. The users should be able to post comments and upload images with out signup to that plugin providers
How to add upload Image feature to this plugin?
Not possible.
Facebook has not implemented image upload for the Comments plugin, and you can not “add” anything to it yourself.
Is there a way to make the uses post he comment just by pressing enter rather than clicking Post button(Remove Post button and make enter keyboard key as default submit button)
No.
There is not configuration option for this, and since the plugin runs inside an iframe from a different domain, you don’t have any access to it via JavaScript either.
As of Sept 2010 FB has an "add image" icon on the FB plugin, but it does not work all the time. Last night it worked fine on 20 or so pages, and today on 5 more. Then just now, on a recently modified page, it no longer works. Text only.
I am creating a Google Form. I want to insert a count in the end(anywhere,not specific) of the form which will show the number of responses submit till date.This goes like updating the live count. I have tried using script editor for Google Form Add-ons option.But I am unable to view the results automatically or changes. It asks me to accept "Terms of Service" which I don't want to do right now because I am not sure about the way it may result.
There are various options available to view the form results/responses.But here I don't want to view the results later.They should get updated when we click the submit button on form.Please note..simultaneously many users may fill the form.
To implement this,I have thought of logic like whenever submit button gets clicked..the text in the form should get updated.
Please suggest how I can add the count or apply above logic of whenever submit operation is performed. Is it possible?? Any other suggestions are welcomed..Thanks in Advance!!!
I found another possible way of doing this..I received all the responses in Google Spreadsheet..which I later embedded in my site. Solves the purpose..And the embedded data gets updated automatically for the responses !! Cheers
My site allows a user to create a watchlist of stocks. In the site, the action is referred to as "Add to watchlist". I wanted this to create a FB open graph action called "watch" but I believe this is not possible, because watching is a built in action that can only be used on video objects. As such, I've been receiving rejections from FB along the lines of:
Your Action failed the criteria: You are trying to submit a custom action which is not permitted. Please delete this action and submit a built-in version of this action instead.
I can't use the builtin because I need to connect it to my custom "Stock" object. I've tried renaming the action and its verb conjugations every way I can think of ("add to watchlist", "track", etc), but have been rejected at least 5 times. I've run out of ideas.
I've tried to find answers on FB, and here (1 2 3), but have so far not found a viable solution. I think FB must not like the fact that the action is called "watch" in the site itself, and so therefore I have to use the builtin. I'd rather not redo a significant piece of my site just on the off chance it might make FB's reviewers happy, so any other ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Recreating the custom action from scratch as "Track" (deleting the original action, creating a new one, posting the shared activity as an appliction administrator, and then resubmitting with the same how-to instructions) has finally resulted in an approved custom action.
As I submit an application for "read" action on Open Graph I received the following response.
Status: Changes needed
Unfortunately, your article.read built-in submission does not meet the read requirements specified at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/#read. You must give users the ability to turn sharing off/on globally as well as remove an article that was shared within the app. In addition, read actions should only be generated when there is a strong indication that the user is actually reading the article. Please note that we cannot accept resubmission as this time due to technical limitations, so you will need to create a new submission. We plan to have this resolved within the next couple of weeks. We suggest making the required changes and checking back. We appreciate your patience. Note: If you are creating an aggregation based on the object, you need to add 6-7 unique sample objects, and then create a corresponding sample action acting on each of these unique objects. (You can not just create 6-7 sample actions pointing to the same sample object). Submission Checklist: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/checklist
Please make changes below and resubmit for review.
Unfortunately, this "guide" is not helping with anything. Firstly, I have no idea where to do this:
You must give users the ability to turn sharing off/on globally as well as remove an article that was shared within the app.
Second of all, I don't even know how to "resubmit"!
Any help would be appreciated.
I was experiencing the same thing. You have to click on the name of your action that you submitted. Once you do that, Facebook provides detailed instructions why they didn't approve the action and what you need to do before you resubmit. Once you review the message, you can make the necessary changes and save the action again. Then you'll have the option to resubmit. In my case Facebook said that I need to provide more detailed instructions what the user needs to do to get an action published. They provided this example: "User must create an account, enable Timeline sharing in the settings, view a product within the app and then click the “want” button underneath the product image to trigger a story". I did that and resubmitted. Hopefully it works this time around. Good luck.
To resubmit, just delete the rejected action and create a new one. You can use the same action name as before. You then go through the submission process again as you did the first time.
Facebook have recently updated their guide to implementing their built-in action types. For the Read action type, see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/actions/builtin/#read. You will see a sample application that meets the following criteria required for the use of this action type:
Turn sharing on/off globally on each page an article appears.
Remove articles they shared within your app on each page an article appears.
Only generate read actions when you're sure someone is interested in reading the article.
Built-In actions can't be resubmitted. It is a FB Bug:
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/364663400220101?browse=search_4f44876aabaef7501649601
From this answer on FB tools and support I got this:
You can start a new submission at the bottom of the "Items in Review" page:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/337449599791917/review-status/items-in-review/
That link didn't work for me.. so I just went to the app dashboard and clicked on status and review
clicking on the start a new submission button loaded a dialog that prompted me to select which items to "re-review".. so I only selected the problematic one:
after that it loads a form for you to resubmit, so here you gotta re-upload the iOS simulator build etc..
and that's it!
