Duplicate Pinterest Facebook invite functionality
facebook, javascript
Solution
Facebook responded to a bug report about this about a week ago, stating it was "by design". Pinterest, among other apps, are whitelisted to be able to include multiple recipients. How to get whitelisted? Beyond me.

Problem
I'm trying to duplicate Pinterest's "Invite Friends" functionality. In case you haven't seen what it looks like, it looks like this: This important points here are 1) there are multiple recipients and 2) you can type a custom message. So far, with the Facebook API, I've only found ways to send a custom message to a single user or send a pre-canned message to multiple users. I haven't found a way to send a custom message to multiple users. Here's what will let you send a custom message to just one user: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/send/ And here's what will let you send a pre-canned message to multiple users: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/requests/ So how are they doing it? How can I allow my user to send a custom message to multiple recipients like Pinterest is doing?
