Is there any way to customize apprequest message of facebook?
e.g. if a person sends request to his friend then default message comes "Shahid sent you a request in FarmVille"
here Shahid is username and FarmVille is an app name.
screenshot is given below

You can only customise the message for where it appears in the Games and Apps dashboard, the notification in the dropdown will always have that default text. See the Requests docs for more information.
you can see in the screenshot above that the text CAN be edited. it almost always is "... sent you a request in ..." but there are some different ones, like "... wants to include you as a professional connection in ..."
i still didnt find out how to change it though
maybe you need to add "verbs" to your apps (in this case - "include" you as a "professional connection", or something like that) and thats the only way to change the text?

I'm trying to deeplink users into my facebook messenger bot, and I need to pass some data in at the same time. Supposedly this can be done by using m.me links, along with a query param.
My bot's page is https://www.facebook.com/Willy-1610141399078870/
The m.me url would be something like this. https://m.me/Willy-1610141399078870?ref=somedatagoeshere
The m.me link works to a degree on desktop, but the data isn't passed to the bot. I don't particularly need it to work on desktop.
However, when I try to open that link on ios or android, I get an error message.
Android
This user name doesn't exist. Try another code or link
iOS
Username was not found
The bot hasn't been published yet, so it won't be visible to anyone else. I need to be able to test this functionality before I publish, so I hope that's not what is causing the failure.
Has anyone else been able to use this feature?
It seems that the facebook-generated username can't be used for m.me links. It requires you to register an explicit username.
My page's generated name was Willy-1610141399078870, so https://m.me/Willy-1610141399078870 wasn't a valid url.
To register a username for your page, go to your page > About > Create Page #username.
Then, you can attempt to pick a username that isn't already taken. Somehow, #willy-the-test-page is already taken (?), so I got this incredibly confusing error message:
Taking the error message at face value, I decided to create another page and try again. This time, realizing that the message didn't mean what it said. Picking an available username clears the error message, and allows registration.
Just kidding! It will tell you again that the page isn't eligible.
The solution was to create a totally new page, and go through the #username creation flow again. It worked for me on the second attempt.
It's rumored that a page needs at least 25 likes to become eligible for an #username, but this isn't true in all cases.

I`m a developer of Facebook login app for website. When I'm trying to save changes in my Facebook web-application settings, getting this error "Site URL has been been identified as malicious and/or abusive." I can't save anything while field "Site URL" contains my domain name. What am I supposed to do?
Go to facebook.com . Try to share the url. You will get a dialog saying the url is bad and in the button there will be a link if you don't agree and you want to report it.
simple solution is to disable facebook button, so that facebvook change their aggressive globalism political tactic of changing their ways for developers constantly forcing to change their code, like google does with google login.
Other solution is to, according to:

I am having a doubt regarding the Facebook policies. It is being stated that:
IV. Application Integration Points
.....
You must not pre-fill any of the fields associated with the following products, unless the user manually generated the content
earlier in the workflow: Stream stories (user_message parameter for
Facebook.streamPublish and FB.Connect.streamPublish, and message
parameter for stream.publish), Photos (caption), Videos (description),
Notes (title and content), Links (comment), and Jabber/XMPP.
.....
Source: https://developers.facebook.com/policy/
And from the examples & explanation page, it says the following for Photos:
You must not pre-fill Photo captions unless the user manually
generated the content earlier in the workflow. These fields are
intended for users to express themselves. Pre-filling these fields
erodes the authenticity of the user voice.
So, my question is: I have seen 99% of the apps (that I used), is auto-filling caption field for photos with say, something like: You can try it by visiting here: http://www.apps.blahblah.com/appname
Isn't that against the facebook policy ? Or they are not flagged because they are using the extended permissions(publish_stream) instead of the post_actions ?
If it is not allowed for both the permissions, then my next question is, how would we tell the users viewing the photo, the link to the app so that these audiences can also try the app ?
Also, if possible, I would like to see a small example of the caption that would be generated in the workflow as mentioned here in the policies: ...You must not pre-fill any of the fields associated with the following products, unless the user manually generated the content earlier in the workflow....
Thanks in advance.
It is against policies, but many apps do it nevertheless.
I think a compromise would be to have the user enter their own message, and then just append a little link to the end of that before posting it.
As for the example, what exactly would you like to know/see? You have the user put in a message through a text field/input box/whatever, and set that as the message while posting the image.
Currently its forbidden. User should fill the whole caption text. Adding anything to it also is also forbidden.
You can watch the Facebook policy video about pre-filling here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review/prefill
I will try to explain a bit the context for my problem.
Context:
A while ago I started working on Facebook application. One of the requirements is to be included in a Facebook page as a tab. This application will contain on a page a send button in order to be able to make it more engaging with specific people, users of the application would choose on their own. The reason behind this is because the Facebook page containing the application is related to alcohol, and "liking" the application will get more audition and potential children. Another reason for using send button rather then other similar options from Facebook (like send dialog etc.) is because in Facebook documentation was stated that send button works on mobile devices and other options don't.
Problem:
My problem is related to the send button. What I need is to be able to completely configure the send button: url, image, title, description. I have research the open graph tags in order to be able to do this. Everything works fine if the page I want to be sent with the message is a website OUTSIDE Facebook. Once I started to use the url of a Facebook page (let's call it www.facebook.com/mycustompage), then the crawler takes the images, title, description from facebook.com ignoring the actual page and the produced message is not what I want.
I have searched a lot to better understand this limitation and could not find anything relevant.
The only article I could find as a potential solution was (and even this I had trouble finding):
Send button returning error codes, like button works fine
The above discussion is a workaround which I have already put in place but is not 100% what I want. The described workaround is about putting in the send button:
<div class="fb-send" data-href="http://www.mycustomdomain.com/og"></div>
a page that sniffs the user agent. In case the user agent is Facebook crawler to serve an html empty page just with the open graph tags, otherwise redirect to the desired URL - which in our case is the facebook page www.facebook.com/mycustompage.
The message produced contains:
the title which is a link to www.mycustomdomain.com/og which when
clicked opens a page in a new tab with the address
www.facebook.com/mycustompage - this is relatively ok
under the title I have a "sub-title" readonly text containing the domain of the link: www.mycustomdomain.com - THIS IS NOT OK since I don't want to share where I have hosted the application.
the image and the desired description - this is ok.
Conclusion:
What I want to know if there is a better way to do this rather than this workaround.
If not I would like to know how I can hide for the produced message the "sub-title" so that the hosted domain is not visible.
I'm trying to use Facebook Send Dialog in a WinForms frame with a browser control and direct URI (you can repro just by clicking the links below). It works fine with link=http://www.foo.com, sending the message properly if you enter a message and click "Send":
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=179873125388138&link=http://www.foo.com&redirect_uri=http://jonnewman.com/&display=popup&to=100002395463043
However, this fails with link=http://www.facebook.com or any path under it. Clicking "Send" just gets you "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.":
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=179873125388138&link=http://www.facebook.com&redirect_uri=http://jonnewman.com/&display=popup&to=100002395463043
The aim is to write a script to make it easier to send messages asking all users in a particular group to a page (prepopulating the recipient list). Since Facebook has restricted groups larger than 500 members, our organization has to move to a Facebook Page, and I want the Send Dialog to link the new Facebook Page. Why won't this work? Is there a workaround? Are there other criteria for what links Send Dialog will and won't send?
Also, is there a way I can determine whether the send occurred or not, for example an event to catch? Whether you send or cancel, the Navigated event is still redirect_uri/#_=_.
Once I have Send Dialog working, I will add Show-FBSendDialog to Facebook PowerShell Module, which already has numerous capabilities to automate Facebook from PowerShell.
ran some tests and it seems it is blocking any fb domain http://on.fb.me/91S2P8, sometimes this is temporary otherwise need to rethink...
I see your second link isn't working... but if you add your company page id or name to link it should work. following link works for me:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=179873125388138&link=http://www.facebook.com/Intel&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fjonnewman.com%2F&display=popup&to=100002395463043
hope this helps
I got solution. I also had same problem. No post helped me. Solving error for 2 days.
There were posibility of two mistakes(that was done by me).
Link Parameter given in url should be working. I have linked to api namespace but not given SSL url. So it was giving problem. You can given your web site address.
And redirect_uri parameter should be working. Try to give redirect_uri to same page most probably.
