FACEBOOK NOTIFIER APP SOFTWARE

Some of the stations that will be included are as follows:

I know there are services and sites out there that do this exact process but the two or three that I talked to said they had been put on a “watch list” by FB and are likely to be shut down soon.The social media giant stated in its blog that, “ Everyone has different interests, so whether you’re into sports, celebrities, news, movies, music or shopping, Notify makes it easy to find notifications you’re into with a broad selection of great “stations” across a variety of categories”. They seem dedicated to keeping folks on FB and leading developers to building apps specifically for FB as opposed to repurposing code. It’s easy for links within the iframe application to lead off of Facebook and will then put you in violation of policy. We highly discourage pulling an existing site into an app on Facebook. I looked into the concept of posting an iframe of Discourse into the canvas and running it that way but that has some issues with functionality on the Discourse side as well as being frowned upon by FB. In order to use the notifications system, you need to be using a canvas app. Don’t build an app whose primary purpose is to redirect people off of Facebook.Īnd here’s a link to a video they sent me to go through.I tried to work this from a number of angles but ultimately ended up contacting Facebook (not a simple task). Perhaps we could use the “invite friend to this app” mechanism as well? Combined somehow (or not) with built-in invitations system? And I still remember, that making canvas app out of regular website is rather straight-forward, I did something like this with Drupal once. I’d like to ask you about Telegram Notifications Plugin (discourse-telegram-notifications) : it interacts with Telegram bot when regular notification is created, is that right?Ībout the notifications - yes, they are available for every app, and if we’d combine it with embedding instance as a FB canvas app, we would escape the TOS, as redirecting users out of faceook by app is explixitly forbidden.

Yeah, but you have to remember about one of the most important Open Source rules - when they close the door, we enter via window Anything that is not explicitly forbidden in ToS is allowed, right?I doubt that they’ll change their APIs and methods again just because some discussion software community found some loophole Providing them with notifications in spaces where they are already present, could be a way to fight that tendency, since the user would receive ‘pings’ from their based community in exactly the same way as the rest of their daily communication. People are active on FB virtually 24/7 and because of that the’re not very eager to move to any external services when they feel that all their needs - in this case communication needs - are already well served there. Facebook is a threat to other online communities as it tends to ‘suck out’ any online activity.We have use cases (I believe) of moving communities from fb groups into, and enabling a mechanism to recieve notifications on a channel that they are used to would smoothen this transitions a lot.Why do I believe we need this as a community? I can only provide ‘bare’ algorythm or pseudocode, but to reforge it into a functional Discourse plugin (or plugins perhaps?) I would need help of a qualified programmer. Unfortunately, I’m not a Ruby developer, so I won’t be able to create any plugin myself.

Well, actually I have some possibly good news As I’m kind of obsessed with the idea of delivering notifications to my community users via their Facebook (through Messenger and/or notifications), I’m in the middle of deconstructing those nightmarish API procedures.
