I'm trying to post a reply to an inbox message by sending a POST request to /message_id/comments. Is this the correct way to send a reply to an inbox message ?
I'm getting the following error:
"error": {
"type": "OAuthException",
"message": "(#3) App must be on whitelist"
}
The token has every possible permission.
Do I have to ask that my app is added on a whitelist ? how to do so ?
I'm doing this in javascript+jQuery:
var params = {
access_token: token
, method: 'post'
, message: 'hi'
};
$.getJSON('https://graph.facebook.com/$message_id/comments?callback=?', params, function(json) {
});
Facebook apps by default aren't allowed to send messages on behalf of users. There is no permission you are missing. This is an extra level to prevent spam (beyond prompting the user who). You will have to contact Facebook to get your application whitelisted. I would try their developer group.
opened a support ticket right here:
http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/183144141763793?browse=search_4e8b140cbf26e6040457329
Tried all I can think of and googled for, still getting this issue
Like others have pointed out, there isn't a way to do this programmatically unless you are on Facebook's whitelist. However, I did find a way around this for my app. What I do is use Oauth to display messages from a user's FB inbox like normal. When the user clicks 'Reply' on a message, I just send them to the reply page on Facebook Mobile, like this:
$('.reply').click(function() {
var popup_window = window.open('http://touch.facebook.com/messages/compose?ids='+message_id, '_blank');
popup_window.focus();
});
Where message id is the Facebook id for the message they are replying to. In my case, I use PHP to echo the message id into a javascript variable or data-attribute when the page loads. Since the Facebook mobile page opens in a new tab, they don't even really leave my app. Since Facebook mobile has a very streamlined interface it isn't too distracting. It's not perfect, but it works and it's easier than trying to get whitelisted.

We have issues with our web app and Facebook.
I'm doing the Login with scope email
FB.login(function(response) {
// my code
}, {scope: 'email', auth_type: 'rerequest', return_scopes: true});
I got the popup asking permission for the email, and other fields
I accept it, but then after getting the access_token, I call
https://graph.facebook.com/v15.0/me?fields=id,first_name,last_name,name,email,picture.type(large)&access_token={MY_TOKEN}
The email field is not in the response
What I don't understand is that user is a test user created on Facebook app page. One in Two users I create have this issue. For some other users, I have the email with the same exact procedure
Do you know what could happen?
We are experiencing the same issue.
WizKid is right. Try using https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ and you'll see that when you get no email, this tool shows "The email field was not returned. This may be because the email was missing, invalid or hasn't been confirmed." message.
I am trying to use Sender Actions as described in the messenger Send API docs. However when I send a typing_on POST I do no see anything happen in messenger. I have tried on chrome desktop and the messenger android app.
I am able to send a mark_seen POST and this does update the chat with an icon indicating my message has been seen.
The request body looks as follows:-
{
"recipient":{
"id":"<PSID>"
},
"sender_action":"typing_on"
}
When sending mark_seen, typing_on or typing_off I always get the following response body.
{
"recipient_id": "<PSID>"
}
Are there additional steps needed to get the typing indicator to display? Does it only work on a specific platform? I cannot find any more documentation, and I am not getting any error messages, the POST status comes back OK identically when sending mark_seen or typing_on, I just can't see any effect after typing_on.
Okay I got reply from Facebook developer team on Facebook Developers group
Quote:
"This changed recently for mobile and is currently assigned to an internal team". Looks like something internal.
I am trying to make bot using facebook messenger api. My bot is working perfectly for direct messages. Now i want to add a feature called comment bot. Like when someone comments on my page post. I would like my bot to reply to the person. I added a webhook url for feeds. When some one comments in a post i get a respone similar to the following:
{"changes":[{"field":"feed","value":{"item":"comment","sender_name":"6sense","comment_id":"127569201201434_137925500165804","sender_id":126557694635918,"post_id":"126557694635918_127569201201434","verb":"add","parent_id":"12655769463
5918_127569201201434","created_time":1507031347,"message":".."}}],"id":"126557694635918","time":1507031349}
Now from that webhook, i am trying to reply back to user using the sender_id. But i am getting a long error which is in short
{ error:
{ message: '(#100) No matching user found',
type: 'OAuthException',
code: 100,
error_subcode: 2018001,
fbtrace_id: 'EmEDxfdcnyF' } } }
I saw some sites implementing this feature. So i guess its possible. But i am not sure why its not working. I am using the same app for this.
Try private_replies API with comment_id to send private replies to user.
To use this API you need read_page_mailboxes permission.
I want to follow up this question. I use FB.ui to send link and got exactly the same error for some users. Is there anyway to check it and decide whether to display the ui to the user ?
API Error Code: 100
API Error Description: Invalid parameter
Error Message: Viewer cannot message specified recipients.
<a href='#' onClick="
FB.ui({
method: 'send',
link: 'http://www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com',
to: ###########,
});
">Send a message</a>
Even when I use the url send method, some user does not work. For example:
Error User : https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=123050457758183&name=People%20Argue%20Just%20to%20Win&link=http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/15/arts/people-argue-just-to-win-scholars-assert.html&redirect_uri=https://www.bancsabadell.com/cs/Satellite/SabAtl/&to=100000104626944
Normal User: https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=123050457758183&name=People%20Argue%20Just%20to%20Win&link=http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/15/arts/people-argue-just-to-win-scholars-assert.html&redirect_uri=https://www.bancsabadell.com/cs/Satellite/SabAtl/&to=1311251197

Edit: in fact, everyone should be reachable through messages now. It's only there are new "filtering preferences". I guess this can_message field is now useless because it should always return true. I think it is going to be deprecated in a while.
In the user FQL table, you have a field that must verify what you need:
can_message (boolean): whether the user can send a message to another user
Source: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fql/user
select can_message from user where uid=USER_ID
USER_ID being the person that your app user want to send a message to.
You can use the FB api;
I use something like:
FB.api('/me/permissions', function (response)
{
//check contents of response for required permissions here
fb_publish_perm = response.data[0]['publish_stream'] ? response.data[0]['publish_stream'] : false;
if (fb_publish_perm)
{
// it permissions exist
}
else
{
// permissions dont exist launch the ui to request.
}
});
Please treat the above as psedo code, as it came straight off the top of my head!
Here is my send javascript code:
function send(id, description, title) {
FB.ui({
app_id: '390841657651335',
method: 'send',
description: description,
link: http://vic.bg/Vits.aspx?vicid=' + id,
name: title
}
}
Send is always ok (i dumped the response from the callback to the console), but recients got that message
Attachment Unavailable This attachment may have been removed or the person who shared it may not have permission to share it with you
instead of the actual post. Did someone face that problem?
The problem was with the settings of the application Sandbox Mode: was checked.
I do not know why they display such strange message in that case
So, did the 'send dialog' worked for you? because from all of my research and reading all posts related, facebook currently doesn't allow to send private messages to friends through graph api..
I'm trying the 'send dialog' via a direct URL and not via JS SDK.
