How does RockMelt send Facebook messages?

All I read says that you cannot send messages, but in RockMelt you can send your friend a beta invitation via Facebook messages.

Do they use a preview of the Inbox API? Is there any other way they do this?

This was taken from a response to Quora that Eric Vishria, Rockmelt CEO, said:

"If a user wants to invite a friend who has not subscribed to our site, we create a download link and pre-fill the Facebook message (in our own interface), which the user can edit / configure and click" Submit ", or copy and send through other means (email, chat ...).

We do not send Facebook messages, and messages are not from us, they are users.

If a user invites a friend who has registered on our site (using the "Hook 'em up" button), who sends a notification to our server that the user is connected, and we send this friend an email that such user has connected them. We can do this because when users register on our website, they connect via Facebook and authorize our application to send them email.

We spent a lot of time to ensure that the system does not spam (there are no automatic messages for feeds, no automatic emails, etc.), where people who want them are invited, or users must take an explicit action to tell their friends about this. "

To send a message to a friend, you can use the "Send" dialog box, similar to the dialogue channel that will be posted on the wall, but it allows the user to select one or more friends and send a message: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference / dialogs / send /
