I am working on a facebook open graph application that will allow users who log in & authenticate with my site to have an aggregation of "recently read" articles on their facebook timeline.
I have created the aggregation and adding preview objects seems to work and it appears appropriately in the "timeline preview" area. Publishing the action works and it appears in the activity log (though not in the timeline unless I manually tell it to show up there).
Using facebooks url scraper, it appears that my links are working fine and all meta tags that are expected do indeed appear, but again - no aggregation.
I have posted probably 8 or 9 stories with my app so far and still, no aggregation.
Here is some code..
Facebook Log-In
$('.facebook-login').click(function() {
var loginBool = $(this).hasClass('loginfb');
if (!loginBool) {
FB.logout(function(response){
if (response.authResponse) {
updateStatus();
}
});
}
else if (loginBool) {
FB.login(function(response){
if (response.authResponse) {
updateStatus();
}
}, {scope: 'user_about_me,user_birthday,user_interests,user_likes,user_location,read_stream,email,publish_actions,publish_stream'});
}
});
FB.app share code
$('.read-action').click(function() {
FB.api('/me/news.reads', 'post',{
article : window.location.href
}, function(response){ console.log(response)} );
});
Publishing an action logs the action ID the javascript console and like I said, it shows up in the activity log and I can see it on my timeline after allowing it to show up there.
The aggregation is set up as such:
Data to display: Read
Layout Display: List
Is there something I am doing patently wrong, or what are the steps needed to get my posts to aggregate?
I had the same problem with other build-in actions. It looks like custom aggregations aren't allowed for build-in action types. But build-in aggregations are sane enough.
What is the value of Data to Display in your aggregation?
Sometimes you need to do several OG actions of that type in order for the aggregation to start showing up on your timeline.

Dialogflow ES has an event called 'WELCOME' which makes it possible for the bot to initiate the conversation.
How can I do the same in Dialogflow CX?
There is no entry fulfillment option in the Start Page of Dialogflow CX.
Edit:
Delete the 'Default Welcome Intent' route.
I am unable to perform this. I get the following error.
In 'Default Welcome Intent' change the intent from 'WELCOME' to nothing.
I get the following error. I have set the condition to true. I have also set the page transition to 'onboarding' page.
Please let me know if more screenshots are required.
To accomplish what you're asking, the easiest way would be to:
Open the "Default Start Flow" and select its Start page.
Remove all routes and add a new one.
This new route takes a "custom condition" in the form of true (in the condition pane, click on customize expression and then just type true) and goes to a new page
called "Onboarding" (on the bottom of the route creation page, click on new page and name it Onboarding).
Go to the Onboarding page and add an entry fulfilment "Hello there, how are you doing today?"
in this way every time the default start flow is activated (window is opened) the bot will use that fulfilment.
EDIT:
ok, i tried creating a new agent and i think i solved the problem.
it seems as though we can't erase the default welcome intent, but it doesn't matter.
i created two pages: onboarding and first page. from start i added an always true route to the onboarding page, and i did the same with the onboarding and first page. As you can see from the testing console we only get the expected behaviour for the second transition, look at this:
start page:
onboarding page:
"first" page:
After looking for info on the documentation i think i understood this: from the testing console, google doesn't let you see the actual behaviour of the conversation. If you see the screenshots, when i say "hi" and go the the onboarding page, i get immediately brought to the next page by that "true" transition. Since the same exact sequence is on the start page, the same behaviour should apply there: you only can't see it in the console because "opening the window" in the console is not the same as opening the conversation "in real life".
So, what i suggest you to do is create a new integration or develop a testing environment for the bot, say a website with the messenger integration, a telephony integration or whatever else, and test this onboarding on there. Speaking from personal experience, try with the messenger one maybe: you get a link and you just embed the script in any webpage (works well and easy).
It should work, as in, as soon as you open the conversation, the bot should go the onboarding page and say "hello there!"
So, I'm not sure what your end use-case is, but DFCX (at it's core) isn't exactly designed to initiate an unsolicited message because it's really just a language model with a bunch of features built on top of it.
With that being said, if you want to create a pop-up window for your website chat-widget, you can actually configure this in the integration settings with your embed code. Here's an example:
//The DF Messenger element:
<df-messenger df-cx="true" chat-title="Agent Name" agent-id="<your agent ID>" language-code="en" expand="true"></df-messenger>
//The window load script :
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/dialogflow-console/fast/messenger-cx/bootstrap.js?v=1"></script><script>
window.addEventListener('dfMessengerLoaded', function (event) {
const dfMessenger = document.querySelector('df-messenger');
const openText = ('<The Text You Want To Display On Page Load>');
dfMessenger.renderCustomText(openText);
});
</script>
Please note this will only work if you have the DF Messenger Integration enabled on your agent. See the docs for integrating DF Messenger here
1.Use the attribute intent inside the df-messenger tag in your UI/HTML page
2.Then create a Custom Event in Dialogflow CX (By clicking on Event handler '+' icon)
3.Check the 'use custom event' checkbox and provide event name and provide a text response in fulfillment section of this custom event.
4.Finally provide this custom event name as value to the attribute intent(mentioned in step 1)
please refer to this document for df-messenger HTML customizations https://cloud.google.com/dialogflow/cx/docs/concept/integration/dialogflow-messenger#html-customize
According to Dialogflow CX documentation, the WELCOME event (although not visible in the Start flow) is also available. As you can see in this link and the picture below.
To invoke this event, you have to use the detectIntent method of a Session client. You'll need to specify the event name in queryInput.event.event of the request used in detectIntent.
Hope this helps!
I want to build a dashboard that returns more customized insights from the insights generated by app.
The app is a facebook connect website that users visit and view a list of products. They can post to facebook about that particular product by sharing a custom story that incorporates that product on their timeline.
When I go to the insights for my app, it does a great job of showing me all social impressions for all custom stories that were generated on my site.
I'd like to narrow that down even more for specific products.
My plan is to record the object ids that are generated by these actions and link them to a partucular product in my database.
I'd then like to create a new dashboard page that will allow me to login, request read_insights permission from me and then use that object_id:product mapping from my database to show how many social impressions where recorded for a given product's object_ids.
Is this possible? I've read alot about it but still haven't found the most elegant way to get a segmented report of social impressions per type of content that was posted.
Thanks for your time.
The implementation all depends on which platform you want your app to run on.
The first major component is you must have a Facebook developers account which is easy to signup for. Just go to developers.facebook.com and register. Takes like 2 mins. After that you will need to create your first app and add the correct domain name where your app will be hosted and what platform it will run on. (iOS, Android, Web, ect.) Once that is finished you can make your app public so you can use the Facebook API in your code.
For the app creation itself. The first thing you need to do is import the correct API for your platform. Which you can find a walk through at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/. Once the API is imported you must build a Facebook object which contains your app id and possibly app secret. If you're using JavaScript you don't want to use the app secret because it will be visible to the public.
Now that you have your Facebook object you must require the app users to log in and grant permission to your app. You can add extended permissions to your log in process by adding a scope value to the log in button generated by Facebook. Here is an example.
<fb:login-button id="loginBtn" max_rows="1" scope="basic_info,read_insights,manage_pages" size="medium" show_faces="false" auto_logout_link="true"></fb:login-button>
After the user is logged in you can now query information from the users account using Facebook Api calls to Social Graph. Facebook also provides a tool to help you figure out what information you can query. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
Everything else you want to do with the app can be done by Facebook API calls. You just need to insure you grant the user the correct permissions before making the API calls.
API calls are a little different depending on which language syntax you are using but they all follow the same data model and return some array of responses which can be parsed using JSON or the standard array format. The Graph Explorer tool listed above will show you the output for your queries so you can handle them accordingly.
I hope this helps gets you started.
EDITED
Here's the implementation in JavaScript
function getMetric(){
// make the API call
FB.api(
"/{app-id}/insights/application_opengraph_story_impressions",
function (response) {
if (response && !response.error) {
/* handle the result */
}
}
);
}
Here's the reference now that Facebook docs are back up https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/insights
application_opengraph_story_impressions will probably give you the total impression of all stories made by your app. I ran it against my Facebook app and it came back empty but I don't have any stories so it might work with your's. Also to note in the documentation there is an * by this metric and I could't find what that means.
I'm pretty sure that right now Facebook don't give developers ability to get insights about app custom stories.
Currently Facebook documentation has the following Graph APIs for Insights data:
/{page-id}/insights
/{app-id}/insights
/{domain-id}/insights
/{post-id}/insights (where this is a Page post)
So /{post-id}/insights won't work because custom story is actually user's post and others endpoints don't apply to your case.
As far as I know the only other option to access Insights is FQL. For that you'd use insights table in a manner similar to this:
SELECT ... FROM insights WHERE object_id = ... AND metric = ... AND end_time = ... AND period = ...
Now most likely this also won't work with your custom story posts (I don't have posts which I could try it on right now, so I can't tell) but at least it is not explicitly stated so in the documentation, so you should probably try it out.
UPDATE:
I wasn't able to get any insights data via FQL, although as far as I understand the following code should have gave me at least something (object id is for my page):
SELECT breakdown, end_time, event, metric, object_id, period, value FROM insights WHERE object_id = 224981264214413 and metric = 'page_fans' and period = period('lifetime') and end_time = 1395597892
But it results just in
{
"data": []
}
Facebook also has some pretty old bug report about similar topic: https://developers.facebook.com/x/bugs/508088155954330/ where they confirmed the issue, assigned it, and... did nothing to fix it for 6 months.
In case FQL doesn't work, my suggestion to you is - use your own analytics code to track the creation of custom stories and get the friend count of the users. It won't show you the real exposure of the posts but at least you will see some data on which types of custom stories where posted more often and what was the maximum potential friend count that could have seen them. By the way - to make charting easier, you could use Google Analytics events for that.
I apologize for the beginner question but I don't know where else to turn.
I have the following code in my website:
<script>
FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(href, widget) {
alert('You just liked the page!');
});
</script>
On the developer page, it states that it will record likes in the database. Well, how do I view them?
The button shows up fine and everything is working properly but I just don't know how to view them.
Thank you.
The code you have posted is for notifying your page (in Javascript obviously) that the user viewing the page has 'liked' it. This is not actually needed in order for the Like functionality to work.
You need to have the Like button on the page already for someone to Like the page (eg. by using the tag with the necessary Javascript SDK loaded - http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ - though it sounds like you already have that done).
As for viewing the 'likes', your Like button will tell you how many people have liked it (if you have that option set), however you cannot directly view who actually Liked your page as Facebook do not allow that (privacy concerns)
The script that you posted can be modify to perform other actions, for example you could make an AJAX call to your own server to record information of the 'like' - eg. if the users are logged in, then you would know who it was that liked it.
I'm developing an app which publishes actions to the timeline.
On the app settings, I've created the action "post" and use the built in object type "article".
Although my graph actions have not been approved by facebook, that should not be a problem, because I am logged in as the developer of the app.
My article URLs pass facebook's linter with warnings, but no errors.
When my app notifies facebook of the the post action, it appears to succeed. Facebook returns an ID representing the action.
When I use facebook's graph explorer to view that ID, the data appears to be correct, showing the correct action type and object data. (If there's a URL to browse the action on facebook, instead of the graph explorer, I do not know what it is).
Still, with all the above apparently working without errors, I never see the action on my timeline. Whether I browse my own timeline, or when logged in as a friend and another developer of the app, I never see any indication on facebook.com that the action was performed.
What am I missing to make my custom action appear on my timeline page?
I had a similar problem. I was using OG and I could post everything successfully, but the posts didn't appear in timeline, but only in the activity log in Facebook.
I just went to the settings of the action and set "Explicitly Shared: This action can specify the user explicitly shared an action." to ON.
Then in my piece of code I put "true" to the key "fb:explicitly_shared" while creating the OG object.
If no error is being returned it sounds as if there is an issue in your public page that is preventing Facebook from knowing what to post.
Have you double checked your OG: meta tags through Facebook's validation tool [ https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug ]. While you need all of the values to be filled in, the type bit is the most overlooked and must be setup properly to link to your particular application and corresponding action.
If your OG: data is correct and validating you should also check the detail settings for your action and aggregations. If the phrase / tense bits are not filled in Facebook may be uncertain how to make your post appear back to on the timeline.
Discoverd the problem....
My article page include an article:author tag. The URL in that tag was not visible to anonymous users. So, I'm guessing, facebook visited that author URL and received a HTTP 403.
When I removed the article:author tag, the items started appearing on my timeline.
So be careful with all tags and put all urls through facebook's debug tool.
Hmmm Interesting
Was having the same issue...
Using the XFBML, fb:like with all required og meta tags validating on the linter.
Last month when I liked a 'product' on my website, the post was published on my fb timeline wall no worries. Nice, perfect!
Today after clicking Like, I noticed it wasn't publishing to my timeline wall at all... but was logged in the Activity Feed.
It did however post to my wall if I commented on the Like Button flyout comment section.
Then I found this
"Pages of type article do not have publishing rights, and will not show up on user's profiles because they are not real world objects."
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/#types
I've been getting the same issue with a feed dialog post. The posts can be navigated to directly, but doesn't show on timeline. More details here:
Actions not appearing on timeline
I had a similar problem, but everything was actually working correctly. If you get a returned ID and your article appears in your RECENT ACTIVITY, then all should be good.
The perceived issue, your post not appearing in your timeline, is actually the correct behavior. Your post doesn't appear in your timeline because it should appear in your friends' timeline as an activity that you completed. Once they comment or like it, then it should reappear on your timeline.
For me the issue was the posts doesn't show on timeline for all users except me also it was public !, i fixed it by make turn on application as online to be available to all users
Most of the examples and tutorials I have found for the Facebook SDK are for publishing to user accounts.
As someone who has used the Facebook PHP SDK but not the Javascript SDK, I can't find an example or tutorial for the following:
User clicks FB connect button
Popup window shows manageable Fan Pages
User chooses a Page which they'd like my website to manage
My website gets the ID of the chosen Page
With my website I'm not looking to post information to the admin's Fan Page, but rather just get the ID of the Page they want to use with my site. Thanks to the PHP SDK, I already have a method of pulling all the information from the admin's Fan Page that I need.
Is there such a guide?
You can use the graph to get '/me/accounts' which will list all of the apps/pages that the user administrates. You will need to create your own selection pop up for step 2 and 3, using the data from the response object as the values to submit back to your site in step 4.
Try something like this:
FB.login(function (response){
FB.api('/me/accounts',function(apiresponse){
var data=apiresponse['data'];
var ids = new Array();
for(var i=0; i<data.length; i++){
ids[i]=data[i].id;
}
console.log(ids);
});
},{scope:'manage_pages'});
