A website's private messaging notification was emailed to me with links to reply to the message and access the web's messaging thread which both start with x-thread:// URL scheme. Clicking them on Gmail android app did nothing, another mail app gave me "ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME". A desktop client and online Gmail opens it with usual http://... I've tried searching Google but it yielded no relevant result. Google's autocomplete feature shows that various addresses of this sort had already been searched before. So what is this?

I can't get my app to be reviewed through the Facebook API.
The app is purely a facebook messenger bot, and the app type is "business".
I have configured the specific permissions I need, however I recieve an error that states "You do not have any platforms eligible for review. Please configure a platform on your Settings page."
I also cannot add my app domain in the basic settings, as whenever I press save changes, the url does not save and disappears.
Additionally there is no option to make my app live.
Any advice?
The error message
I am leaving this answer in the event someone else needs it. It was an answer suggested by Facebook support when I encountered the same problem.
Go into App Settings and add a platform "Website"
Just add your website URL.
If the requested permission is just Messenger based then the website will not be accessed or tested.
Good Day
I had a Whatsapp API I used in a URL to send a Whatsapp to a specific person or group in my contact list. Below is the code I used.
https://api.whatsapp.com/resolve?deeplink=/%3Ftext%3D%252AeTrack%2BNational%2BLookout%253A%252A
It normally worked fine and no issues. Now looks like Whatsapp page has been removed. I need a similar external link to send messages from my PHP page to a whatsapp contact or group. We use either Whatsapp Web or their Downloaded app on Windows. On our Android phones the link still works and opens Whatsapp and we can select the recipient. But using Chrome and a Windows system it does not open Whatsapp anymore.
I am curious to know how Bookmyshow and Redbus decrypts Whatsapp API to send text message via whatsapp ?
Does Whatsapp published their API publically or their technical team decrypt their API ?
So far WhatsApp has not publicly announced API's. It is not sure if there is any API available for premium customers like Bookmyshow or Redbus.
But you can achieve automated message like how Bookmyshow and redbus does by using Selenium combined with WhatsApp Web.
WhatsApp has provided a feature called Click to Chat, reference : https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/26000030/. By this method you can message anyone without having their phone number saved in your phone contacts list.
Click to chat workflow involves
Creating a custom URL with user phone number and text message to send
Clicking on the Send Button (This will open WhatsApp Web with user phone number provided is selected in WhatsApp Web chat area)
Clicking on the send button in chat area of whats app web to send message.
The above 3 steps can be automated using Selenium (Web browser automation).
There are lot of articles explaining this method and one such example can be found at https://www.craftedforeveryone.com/whatsapp-send-api-or-click-to-chat-automation-using-selenium-and-c-sharp/
By using Selenium, WhatsApp for Business and WhatsApp Web you can exactly replicate how bookmyshow sends messages.
WhatsApp for Business provides option to set automatic replies by which you can auto respond to the incoming messages.
I'm trying to add a friend request feature to one of my apps. I've done quite a bit of research, and I've found out that I can't do that via the graph api. I've also looked into dialogs, and that isn't supported in FBConnect.
So my only option now would be to pop up a UIWebView and do it and format the url like this: http://www.facebook.com/dialog/friends/?id=FRIEND_ID&app_id=APP_ID&redirect_uri=REDIRECT_URI. That's not a problem, but if the user isn't logged in with Facebook on mobile safari, they will have to log in and that can get quite annoying.
Have any others dealt with this problem? Any good work-arounds?
Friend requests always need to be authenticated from the request sender side, hence the user will have to log in when using the friend request dialog if they are not already logged in.
I'm looking for the best way to check if new email has arrived in a Hotmail account without accessing the web interface or using a mail client.
I couldn't find any Hotmail mail API and looking at a Firefox add-on it seems that querying the site through a normal login process and then searching the HTML source is the way to go.
Any suggestions how to do this with security in mind?
Are you looking for API or plugin?
If API - it looks like they don't have any API for mail, they have API only for contacts and calendar.
But you can use SMTP or POP3 to fetch it.
EDIT
The link to the API can be found here.
