Question

We are using Request dialog

method  : 'apprequests',
new_style_message: true,
message : 'msg',
display: 'popup',
title : 'sometitle',
filters: ['app_non_users'],
to : [array of id]

As our users will be inviting their friends to app, our intention is to get App_non_users filter to work with combination of to array.

So if we pass to the array [id1,id2,id3], and if id1 is already user of the app, App request should only delivered to rest of the two id!

But looks like it is not working!

Answer 1

Your understanding of the filter parameter is not 100% correct. The filter parameter tells the Facebook multiselector dialog what to display. It has nothing to do with who the request gets sent to if you also include the to parameter.

From the Facebook request dialog documentation – https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/

This controls what set of friends the user sees if a Multi Friend Selector is shown.
