I am following the instructions posted on here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/tutorial/#define
It adds the item to my timeline, but I can only view it by going to Activity Log, once I hover over the button on the far right, its default selection is Allowed on Timeline, once I click Shown on Timeline, it appears.
Is there any way to default an application posting on someone's timeline to appear(shown on timeline) by default?
My site where I am using facebook application of Read an Article is this.
I’ve just asked the same question today on Facebook’s developer group. I had a response from a Facebook developer and he said you can’t force a timelime post to “Show on Timeline”. Post will default to “Allowed on timeline”. Apparently, to increase the chances of your story appearing on the timeline you need to post something that the user wants to see on their timeline!
See this screen shot image for the actual response.
Update: I have found that setting the "fb:explicitly_shared" property to true is forcing it to appear on the timeline although the post is still set to "Allowed on timeline" not "Shown on timeline". I'm using the Facebook c# NuGet package and the following code worked fro me...
FacebookClient fb = new FacebookClient();
var postInfo = new Dictionary();
postInfo.Add("vip_bar",#"http://samples.ogp.me/252865028170797");
postInfo.Add("title", "The VIP Bar");
postInfo.Add("og:title", "The VIP Bar");
postInfo.Add("og:description", "Check me out getting leggless in the bar!");
postInfo.Add("fb:explicitly_shared", "true");
fb.PostTaskAsync(, (object)postInfo);

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've followed the Glass quick start guide for Glass for Python.
I'm able to run the server locally and can insert timeline cards to my account using the Admin Panel in Quick Starter. So far so good. But how the flow would look like for a new user? I'm creating a glassware similar to weather updates. In Quick starter, I had to trigger the "post" thru a "form" element. How does it work when someone installs Glassware from store. What triggers that person to get "very first" timeline card. I'm quite confused here. Any useful information will be helpful.
When a user turns on your Glassware in MyGlass, they will be redirected to your auth URL and taken through an OAuth flow (just as would happen if you visit that URL manually without going through MyGlass when you're developing). After they go through that authorization, you can perform any post-auth tasks that you need, such as inserting contacts or timeline items.
The relevant code in the Python Quick Start can be found in the _perform_post_auth_tasks method of the OAuth request handler, which is called at the end of the get request before redirecting to the Glassware's main page.
I've recently switch my code to post to facebook from
https://graph.facebook.com/[profile_id]/feed
to
https://graph.facebook.com/[profile_id]/links
Now i'm getting this problem, can anyone help?
- my picture that i accompany with the post is not showing, it look like facebook is defaulting to the first image it find on the link page
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/link/
both of these document allow me to specify a picture, but somehow the "links" one isn't displaying the image.
Thanks in advance
Set correct Open Graph meta tags, especially og:image.
I just resolved similar issue, posted news on website and posted via /links to fanpage resolved in post with wrong image content and "site not found" title.
The issue was related to wrong code sequence. We hooked posting news via fb api in not-so-good place. The post should have been already available but it wasn't and posting to fb api results in immediate request from facebookexternalhit bot to check if it exists. Detailed log analysis shown that ping from facebook was before POST to add news finished, that's why we had messed content there.
Sample content we post, if what I described above is not your case:
content_dict =
{
'picture': 'http://www.czerwonysmok.pl/static/media/uploads/blog/pb_reddragon_all2_poprawiony_czerwony.jpg/',
'message': 'Title \n\n contentcontentcontentcontentcontentcontentcontentcontent ',
'link': 'http://www.czerwony-smok.pl/klub/aktualnosci/rashguard-ze-strony/'}
try:
logger.info("Publishing to facebook: " + str(content_dict))
graph.post(path="%s/links" % settings.FAN_PAGE_ID, **content_dict)
About sharing on my Android app i'm using this code:
Bundle postParams = new Bundle();
postParams.putString("message", "User's custom message above share content");
postParams.putString("name", "The name of the link attachment.");
postParams.putString("description", "The description of the link (appears beneath the link caption). If not specified, this field is automatically populated by information scraped from the link, typically the title of the page.");
postParams.putString("caption","The caption of the link (appears beneath the link name). If not specified, this field is automatically populated with the URL of the link.");
postParams.putString("picture","The URL of a picture attached to this post. The picture must be at least 200px by 200px. See our documentation on sharing best practices for more information on sizes.");
postParams.putString("link", "The link attached to this post");
Refer to the document for detail: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/feed-dialog/v2.3
I am working with our web developer to integrate Facebook Likes (with comments) onto our website. However, he is having problems because FB doesn't work very well with sites where a log in is required. Currently when you click on the 'like' button the 'like' turns into 'confirm'. You then have to click on 'confirm' and another box appears showing how the like will appear on your FB page saying 'Click Like to post this to your profile' with the option of 'like' or cancel. If you click on 'like' then it allows the comment box to pop up then you can add a comment and post to FB.
There are currently too many clicks for this to work. Does anyone have any advice? Would it be better to just use straight likes with the number perhaps or is this a common problem with website that require a login. We just want users to be able to click once, add their comment and post it to FB.
Any help would be really apprecaited. If it is technical that is fine as I will pass replies onto my developer.
Many thanks
This will generally happen for URLs and sites that are new to the Facebook scraper. It is a security measure to prevent like-jacking that some sites have done in the past. You should ensure that you test your site fully with the Debug tool and after some confirmed 'likes', that step will be automatically removed and future users will just have to click like once.
Where you are gating content behind a login, I would additionally recommend that you show different HTML (including OG tags) for anything detected with the Facebook scraper User Agent (see When does Facebook scrape my page? on the Like Button FAQ) so that, for example, the OG tags for a product detail page are picked up correctly even though the scraper is technically not logged in.
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."

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
