When posting a link directly to a Tab on a Facebook Page,

https://www.facebook.com/PAGENAME?sk=app_APPID

Facebook picks up the Page’s Open Graph <meta> tags, which means the link post gets associated with the Page’s profile picture, name, and a description of “Page • n like this”.

I had hoped that Facebook would instead use the og <meta> tags from the app’s HTML, allowing link posts to be customized.

What’s the best way to provide a direct link to a specific Tab on a Facebook Page with custom content in the link post?

    The best way I can see to have this accomplished would be to have a redirector page hosted on a website (www.example.com/fb/redirectorForApp.html) that does a redirect on a javascript timeout. That redirector page has the og tags you want to have specified. The redirect will land the person at the https://www.facebook.com/PAGENAME?sk=app_APPID. What’s cool about the javascript redirect is that the redirect is not ran by the linter, so it can pickup the correct og: tags, while also allowing you to have the user go directly to the page tab. Good luck!
