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docs very confusing as most pages only have partial examples and the majority of the online SO or blog examples are far out of date.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?
For every action such as-
log in
sign up
password reset
Notifications should be seen to the user with a notification bell icon (just like Facebook)
where real-time notifications are shown according to each action performed.
Also, an email should be sent to that user.
Note - (YOU CAN USE ANY DJANGO LIBRARY EXCEPT DJANGO CHANNELS)
this is the question that I want to solve. please help me.
You can use the Google Firebase Cloud Messaging service. There a lot of packages that work with this service. I recommend you to use fcm-django package for simplicity.
Working on Integrating a SurveyMonkey Survey into a website.
How do I pass Username or Email of a Logged in User to the Survey?
I am using an Embedded Survey. Any Documentation Links would be welcome.
Also, Can I get real-time Response from SurveyMonkey to get the results after a user has finished the taking survey? I have a Paid Plan.
Using Django to build the website.
There is no way to do this today with the SurveyMonkey embed code. Create a weblink collector instead and insert the URL with custom variables into and iframe in your HTML.
Example:
<iframe src="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BGNV5MY?username=[username_value]&email=[email_value]"></iframe>
For realtime response notifications, use webhooks to get notified and then fetch the response details.
I'm trying to piece together information and different chunks of code scattered throughout the documentation on how to make this happen, since there aren't good examples.
I know I have to first get the create_event extended permission which I get with this code:
FB.login(function(response) {
// handle the response
}, {scope: 'create_event'})
;
I know that I also have to issue a HTTP POST request to 'PROFILE_ID/events' with the create_event permissions and the necessary parameters.
My problems are: 1. I don't know how to collect the create_event permission once it is given. If I run the code above, a dialog box will open asking for the permission but once I accept, only a blank page follows.
2. If everything works the way it supposed to with the permissions request and the post request, will my app see a create event page like I would if I were to create an event on my own from my profile? What interface gets seen from the app? Can I take a user from my app directly to the facebook create event page?

That’s how it works. Everything you want to show to the user after successful login, you have to implement yourself.

No “interface” at all – it’s up to you to build that.
Can I take a user from my app directly to the facebook create event page?
The user can go their by themselves. Why would the need your app for that?
Description of how a webhook works from http://webhooks.pbwiki.com/ -
How do they work?
By letting the user specify a URL for various events, the application will POST data to those URLs when the events occur...Among other things, you can:
create notifications to you or anybody via email, IRC, Jabber, ...
put the data in another app (real-time data synchronization)
process the data and repost it using the app's API
validate the data and potentially prevent it from being used by the app
Who is using web hooks?
DevjaVu, BitBucket, GitHub, Shopify, Versionshelf, PayPal (IPN), Jott (Links), IMified, PBwiki, Facebook (Platform, sort of), Mailhook.org, SMTP2Web, Astrotrain, Notifixious, Assembla, ZenDesk, Google Code
Do you know of any good uses of webhooks?
AlertGrid is the webhook consumer. You can configure it to accept http calls from ANY source and raise alert (email, sms, phone) to a specified person or group of people (works worldwide!) whenever the parameters in the http callback meet your criteria or when the http call was expected but it didn't occur (kind of 'heartbeat' monitoring). There is a visual editor for you to easily create rules.
Apart from notifying people by sms or email it can also notify existing applications by sending the http requests to their APIs.
It can also visualise data received in http callbacks and show the history.
Unfortunately, the wiki is not the most up to date list of known implementations. I have my own list that I'll put on the wiki when I get around to reorganizing it. Some not mentioned in the current list:
Dropbox
Gnip
Google Code (Project Hosting)
Checkout by Amazon (both for notifications and as actual callbacks with return data)
Hubilicious
Beanstalk
Google Checkout
MailChimp
SurveyGizmo
Hey!Watch
MySpace (for app developers)
I know shopify is using webhooks quite successfully now. By extension so is fetchapp uses them as well. You either are sending an xml file, or receiving one and doing your own processing logic on it.
Oh and shopify's wiki in the link has a whole write up about how to implement it in your app.
OfficeAutopilot has an interesting version of webhooks.. they use their rule interface to trigger API posts. Can trigger in response to any system event.. email opens, clicks, page visits, purchases, etc, etc.
Kiln 1.2 uses webhooks much like GitHub, BitBucket, etc.
(Disclaimer: I'm a Kiln/FogBugz dev.)
Say for example you want to get data from any API( eg. twitter, facebook etc.,). Instead of you polling the data for every few minutes/seconds, it POSTS the data to the specified URL, whenever it is available.
By using this, you will avoid unnecessary polling like say you poll and data is not there yet.
StorageRoom is a JSON-based CMS that supports webhooks, so that you can notify other services or kick of some manual processing on your own servers.
(Please note: I created the service myself)
If you want to connect one service that supports webhooks to another service's API, you can check out IronWorker's webhook support. Here's a blog post that walks through connecting github webhooks to HipChat:

There are some other examples here too, one that takes a chargify callback and posts to Campfire.
