I just started to make Facebook page bot with Facebook Graph Webhooks/APIs
I'm finding a way to receive notifications, including mentioner_id and post_url, when someone mention my page in any posts.
I have tried searching for mentions in app permissions / page subscriptions
I also searched it up and found this one:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/webhooks/reference/page/#mention
But still no luck...
This is what my page subscription fields looks like:

I have a working Azure function that receives updates when I use the Graph API Explorer.
All I want to be able to do is submit a UserId to an endpoint and have any Posts they make sent to my WebHooks. We want to do this without the users always having to give permission. Unfortunately, I find the FB docs very confusing as most pages only have partial examples and the majority of the online SO or blog examples are far out of date.
On the FB WebHooks page it says
For example, if you subscribed to the user object's photos field and one of your app's Users posted a Photo, we would send you a POST request that would look something like this
They then say
You can also do this programmatically by using the /{app-id}/subscriptions endpoint for all Webhooks
On the Subscriptions page they have this example
POST /v12.0/{app-id}/subscriptions HTTP/1.1
object=page&callback_url=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fcallback%2F&fields=about%2C+picture&include_values=true&verify_token=thisisaverifystring
But then its says this under Permissions
Subscriptions for the object type user will only be valid for users
who have installed the app.
This is not for a mobile app..so I'm confused
The above is to show that I have made all attempts to get this working without first posting here.
Now, I have to ask. Do anyone have experience or a existing code that demonstrates how to Subscribe to a User so that when they Post, I receive Notifications via webhooks?
Or, this this entirely the wrong way to use the Webhooks?
I subscribed my page with feed event in pages webhook (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/realtime/).
Also, setup the apps webhook product with feed subscribe and changed the domain name as webhook domain name. We have "manage_pages" permission on our app and our app is now live mode. I tried every possible way that I know and got after googling. But I couldn't receive facebook page feed real-time data in my webhook. Please help me to solve this problem.
Thanks so much.
Note: I tried before posting this question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52039198/5695622 with the test user. But didn't get the real-time facebook page feed on my webhook.
The problem with the "Ngrok", that's why I didn't get the real-time facebook feed data. After chatting with facebook support they fix the problem.
Here is the facebook support link
Few months ago I created a facebook app where I added "feed" subscription field in Webhooks section. See the screenshot of the previous app.
Today I created a new facebook app where I can't find the "feed" subscription field in Webhooks section. Where has it gone? Facebook removed it or something else? See the new app's screenshot
I believe all the other entries are currently on lockdown due to this

I think you see "messages" because you've configured the messaging product, otherwise chances are that you wouldn't even see the 'Page' topic in the topics list.
I was trying to setup a realtime update for one of my facebook app from a facebook page. I have tried each and every process described in facebook official api docs as well as other developers blogs. But no luck till now. My subscription is successful, I can see it both from api explorer and facebook url. My callback url also works perfectly. But when something new published in my page, I don't get any updates. Hoping anyone will reply who got it really working by him/her self.
Please do not suggest any facebook doc, I have already tried them.
OK, apologies for the verbose title. Let me give the background in a bit more detail.
My website allows my registered users to create new pages, each of which has its own unique URL. Each page has a Facebook "Like" button on it. I've already implemented Facebook Open Graph API meta tags so that the pages are proper open graph objects, and when some other visiting Facebook user "likes" the registered user's page, a post appears on that Facebook user's wall saying they have liked the page. The Facebook Like widget also displays the number of "likes" that page has received as normal. So far, so good.
What I want to do is allow my registered users to be able to communicate back to the Facebook users who have liked their page. The community of "likers" for a page is a potentially valuable social media resource to the registered user, if only they could communicate back.
I am aware of the "admin page" link you get beside the Like button, which can be used to post to these people, but that is not an option for my registered users as they have no privileges in relation to the Like button.
What I want to do, if possible, is setup a form to capture the registered user's message back to the Facebook users, and then my website sends the message on their behalf, without having to ask for any extra privileges from the Facebook users.
The following Facebook documentation pages seem to say this is possible, but having followed the Open Graph API documentation, I can't get it to work as described - http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/465/ and http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/ ("Publishing" subsection). I can get the access token correctly in the first request, and plug that into the second request to do the post, but that doesn't seem to do anything and doesn't return any error.
Since it doesn't work for me, I'm wondering if this is possible as described, or do I need to get some sort of extra permission to do this? I've seen reference to offline_access permission but as I'm new to this stuff I am not sure how it would fit in. If I have to get the Facebook users to grant permissions, this is not going to work as envisaged.
Any thoughts would be most helpful.
The short answer: No, You will never been able to post on someones wall as another user.
The long answer:
You could try to ask for offline access but then you are asking the user to hand over all their facebook data and give you access todo whatever you like their accound, so that is not likely to happend.
The next problem is that they have to be friends to be able to post on each others walls.
Thats why Pages was implemented, so that organisations could announce/talk with the people interested.
However if you have created the like button correctly and give the pages correct meta data, you are able to post to user who have liked it.
Scroll down to Publishing:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Just add a form for your user and let your system publish to the correct page, you probably will need a offline token from your own account or similar to use on the server.
Another more complex way could be to generate a facebook page for each page you have on your server.
When the user creates a page on your system a page is created on facebook but as your app as admin.
And when another user likes the page they like the facebook page, hence you have the possibility to post in that page and speak to the user who liked it. (whooa thats a mouthfull).
