Adding a new Facebook publication type

Building upon the API

Important: Enabling the Facebook app

The below steps assume that you are on http://developers.facebook.com and Logged in.

• Select your application from the left sidebar.
• Select 'App Review' and complete the process to take the Application 'live'.
• Click enable the toggle at the top of the page to take the Application 'live' (this is quite easy to miss, actually).

Note that posts added to Facebook using Facebook Autopost shall not be visible to users other than yourself unless the Facebook App you have configured for this purpose is taken live.

Using non standard Facebook features

Non standard facebook features are considered those features that do not apply to the vast majority of the facebook publication types. This would be, for instance, RSVP to an event.
