I am using various parts of GSuite - authenticating, accessing calendar and drive. I would like to offer users to be able to send direct messages to other users.
I cannot find any example of this online. I have found references to bots sending messages to rooms, but I want to send a message from the authenticated user, to another user in the gSuite.
Could anybody please point me in the right direction.

I am looking to create an application in which I connect with oauth2 to my discord account, in order to send in all the channels where I am, a message, with my own account (not as a BOT)
Only I don't see any options in the scope https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#shared-resources-oauth2-scopes to do it. Even if I put them all in, I will be able to read messages at best, but not write them.
How could I do this? Thank you !
We want to send email to logged in users in our Drupal application. We are authenticating using AAD and our site is hosted in Azure app service.
we have a generic service account with a mailbox attached and we would like to notify the logged in users in case of any event using MS graph API and O365 connections.
Can we please get some guidance in this respect.
You can use the Graph API to send emails from your service account. Where you are going to have a problem is with identifying logged in users. An AAD token will be valid for your site even if the user originally signed in somewhere else, so logging signins isn't foolproof. Unless your users specifically sign out, the token will also be valid past when they stop using the site.
If you wanted to go down this road, then doing some logging of user actions and then sending the email to users that have been active within X amount of time might be an option.
If your goal is to notify users and you don't need an email specifically, then you might want to looking into using websockets or something similar to send notifications to the users within their browser.
I need to send message to my facebooks friends which should include:
- default text message
- url
- my custom message
and I need to know to whom this message was sent.
Please advise how this can be done
Have a look at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/send-dialog
This states that
Facebook messages are a channel for person-to-person communication, and not for apps to send messages, or encourage people to spam their friends. In general, games on Facebook.com should use requests when communicating in game status (its your turn), inviting people to use an application, or sending messages to multiple people. You should offer the Send Dialog in situations when someone might otherwise send an email.
So I doubt that what you want to do adheres to Facebook's policies, and therefore will likely trigger a deactivation of your app.
I'm building an app and the client wants the following logic:
User logs in to the app.
User selects a Friend.
User selects a gift that the User will send to his Friend.
User writes a message to his Friend.
Friend receives a SECRET notification about the gift.
With "SECRET" I mean that Friend will not be able to see WHO is the User that sent the gift.
So the concrete question is how to send a notification to the FRIEND without a clue about the USER that sent it? I think is not possible but I want to be sure and check with the experts.
And if it's not possible, what do you recommend to accomplish something like this? Should I use the app request dialog and hope that the Friend will see it? Is there any other FB API tool I can use?
I really appreciate your help.
What you're trying to achieve is not possible with FB's API. As explained already by #CBroe.
You can send a request notification if the user uses your app. However, You can do one thing but that won't be completely anonymous.
You can send the friend a notification from the user and make it just an invite to try the application and after the friend uses your app (authenticates), your app can then send a notification and say someone left a SECRET message for them. This could be after few hours or instant, Whatever you/your client prefers. However as i said, this won't be completely anonymous nor it's hard to guess who left the message unless the friend isn't smart enough to know who that could be.
With the beta Notification API something similar would be possible, but only if the receiver has authenticated your app: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/notifications/#impl
I have created an application which can post to users wall or even send emails to selected users, what I have not been able to come up with is the functionality to let an application send a message to users facebook inbox, I have googled it and found that applications are not allowed to send messages to users inbox however there's this product called rockmelt browser which does the same thing.
There's has to be some way which allows sending messages to users inbox.
Can somebody guide me on this?
It appears that you cannot send a message to a user's inbox. The closest thing may be this http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/rest/livemessage.send/. It allows you to send a live message to a particular user's browser.
Hope this helps.
If you are sending the message from your application user to one of their Facebook friends, you can use a Request, which will show up in the notification area. When the user clicks on the notification, they'll be taken to your App Canvas where you can show them the full message and any other app interactions you want.
