Question

Can you invite or join people to a group using the Facebook API? What about with events?

I have an ‘App’ (Using C# Graph Facebook API) that users can accept with their account. I can create an event, post on walls, but I can’t figure out how to invite people to a specific group or event. Users that accept the app should be automatically joined to the group. If that is not possible, then have the app invite them to the group. Is the later possible?

Can this be done?

Answer 1

You can invite a user to an event by issuing a POST to

https://graph.facebook.com/EVENT_ID/invited/USER_ID

If you want to invite multiple users, you can issue a POST like this:

https://graph.facebook.com/EVENT_ID/invited?users=USER_ID1,USER_ID2,USER_ID3

You need the

create_event 

permission

Please see the Event API docs.

You can’t invite to a Group using the API. See Group API docs.
