How to verify facebook messenger installed on devices? - facebook-messenger

Our team has built Facebook messenger for subscribers. We are releasing a beta version and we want to pick up 5% for getting feedback. The challenge is how can we verify which subs have Facebook Messenger installed on their devices?
Thanks in advance.

If you have phone numbers for the subscribers you can use the Customer Matching API. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/customer-matching
If you don't, you can try to get them to interact with your bot with a Send To Messenger button or one of the other web plugins. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/plugin-reference/send-to-messenger

Messenger customer chat plugin - referral webhook event not received on mobile

I've been using the Messenger customer chat plugin quite often but I recently discovered that I don't receive any 'ref' tags when a mobile user tries to talk to me through the Messenger chat plugin. It does work perfectly whenever someone starts talking on desktop (Chrome, Safari,...)
Is this a known issue and are there any workarounds? I now have no clue where this user came from since I don't receive the referral webhook.
Thanks in advance!

Identifying Facebook Messenger Lite users

Facebook Messenger Lite users cannot see galleries nor many of the other richer aspects of FB Messenger.
How should I identify users messaging via Facebook Messenger Lite (vs. FBM Full) so I can service them effectively without degrading the richness provided to FB Messenger Full) users?
PS someone needs to create tag "facebook-messenger-lite" - I don't have the reputation for it yet.
Identifying the user isn't supported in the webhook events currently. The only way is to look at the user-agent header in the webview.

how to invite a friend to the application

Hi
I'm trying to develop a simple application in Silverlight to the facebook, I'm using the facebook C# SDK to be able to establish the connection.
I wonder if there is any instruction FQL to invite a friend to the application and keep track of "who invited who" and also if there is any field in FQL to save, for example, the high score of my friends who share the application
thanks
You use requests to send an invite. See this article for more information: http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/453

creating a web app based on what people text/sms to a phone

Hi
Can someone recommend the best way (app service or how I can setup my own) to create a phone number on the web which I can text messages via my mobile phone and I program the responses? For example creating a Alice AI chat bot through my mobile.
Try www.tm4b.com for the sms gateway part

Facebook messenger bot quick replies occasionally don't appear on Android

I'm building a Facebook messenger bot and am finding that quick reply buttons occasionally don't appear on the Messenger client for Android -- I sometimes have to quickly swipe up and down for them to appear. This doesn't happen on the Messenger clients for iOS or the browser. Has anyone else noticed this problem, or found a workaround?
Did you check your internet settings? I think it is due to poor internet connectivity. And are you using Node.js to implement the messenger bot?
