I want to Fetch Every Facebook Status update i make from my Fb Account using NodeJS and print it in my console ...Can this process be event driven,Is there a way wherein a event is generated and the NodeJs server is notified when a new facebook status update is made without polling for it ???
This sounds to me like a webhook is what you are looking for. I do not know whether or not Facebook offers webhooks. If they do, that should be your solution.

I have a service that listens for certain updates and then uses a Discord Bot to post a message on a channel. A random example: every time a team scores a goal, post a message in a channel. I got an email from Discord to reset my bot token because there were too many logins.
As you know, in order to use the Bot you use the client.login("XXX") method. So every time there is an update my service initializes the bot and then sends a message. My assumption is that it has to do with me calling client.login("XXX") for every update. Since my service runs serverless, I can not keep the service up.
Is there a way to make the bot post a message without having to use client.login("XXX")? Or can anyone suggest any strategy to make this logic work?
That is not possible as a bot cannot do any actions without being logged in, it sounds like channel webhooks would fit your needs better.
You simply generate a webhook link in a channel which you can then post messages to through a post request.
You can read more about webhooks here
And you can read more about the required paramters and how to format a POST request to the webhook here
I would like to find out how, using Node.js, Express, Typeorm I can send notifications at random times to users to add a post etc.
I would like to create something of the BeReal sort. Notifications should be sent according to the user's selected time zone at random times.
If you want to send automated notifications, I'd recommend using
node-cron. However, for your case, I'd propose to add a timeZone
indicative information in the database to link the user with the
timeZone(you can find it in HTTP Requests, update it after each
login).
For the actual sending of the notifications, I think you should use
some third party service like Google Firebase for mobile
notifications, and web-push for web applications.
I'm developing Facebook messenger bot. Based on the official sample
here made by Node.js, Express, ES7.
I want to use Firebase database, trigger event.
If someone updates the database, send notice to certain people. I add source code "Child Changed" to "messages.js" in messenger-api-helpers, but it doesn't work.
I can check working "Child Changed" in HTML, but in messenger, I cannot.
Where should I write the trigger events code?
You should definitely use Facebook Messenger Broadcast API for this kind of functionality. This will broadcast a notice/broadcast to users.
Caveats:
You have to apply for this permission. (pages_messaging and pages_messaging_subscriptions.Takes about 1-2 days, but
can test on Admin/Test users of the app)
Each broadcast has to be a separate broadcast. (e.g. you can't send image and a text together, each has to be its own individual broadcast).
Have some kind of un-subscription option as well. FB user might think you are spamming even if you clearly say in the messages that your bot will send updates.
Use custom labels to create targetted sends. So you can either subdivide who you will send updates to about specific issues or just label people if they unsubscribe to your broadcast or not.
Basic workflow:
Get permission to broadcast.
On event in your Database. Start process.
Create message_creative_id via POST to endpoint
Use message_creative_id to POST a broadcast_messages
On a successful send you will get back broadcast_id
I'm not even sure if this is possible/options to look into.
I wrote an email-based sync where a user has a note in Evernote and when the user sends an email from Evernote to a website endpoint, I want the end point to notify the user that their request was received on Evernote.
I don't know if this is even possible. I just want to say "email received" sort of thing.
Closest thing I could think of is having an evernote with the contents updated (sync log). It's kind of like a webhook for Slack but looking for Evernote.
To clarify: The user is currently on Evernote (website) looking at their note, they send the email (from here to share the current note) I want a popup/notification of some sort to say "Email received" I don't know if there is a system for this or not. I don't think so.
Edit: In the meantime I just setup a slack webhook notification
There's no way to programmatically cause a notification to occur/appear within an Evernote client application. You could implement something that's external to Evernote using your own notification mechanism like push notification on mobile, SignalR, etc. but that would be dependent on the user's environment.
I'm trying to find a solution to ensure a push notification to my Chrome extension has been received before sending another one. IF it hasn't been received and another one should go, I would change its content to tell the user he has multiple new informations to check.
So I'm looking for a way to check the previous message status using its ID, or check the queue of messages if using a collapse key, before sending a new one. But I can't find anything related to this, except here : https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/2663268?hl=en there is FCM message status detailed, but no way to get them after the first response.
I am aware receipts can be implemented using XMPP but I would really prefer to remain on the regular HTTP protocol.
Thanks ahead for any help.
XMPP receipts would be the recommended way for you to get an ack that the message was delivered. You can also use the Play Developer console (Android developer console) to view statistics on the status of messages. However this will not be sufficient if you want to automatically resend, you would have to do this manually.
