Facebook Automatic Messaging

[Peter Zēng]

So I figured out how to set up automatic messaging for SMS, but how would I go about doing the same with Facebook? I want to auto-message a group chat on Facebook at a certain time. IE: "Good morning!" at 7:00 am. Is this even possible with Tasker?

They seem to have things pretty well locked down.  But I managed to accomplish this with a combination of AutoShare and AutoInput plugins for tasker.  

Create a day and/or time based profile.

Create a task with the following actions:

Create AutoShare Action (plugin > Autoshare)

use the find compatible apps option and select Messenger from the list.

Then set the text to share to "Good morning!".  

Add a wait action and set it for 2 seconds (this is so the Messenger screen will load)

Create an AutoInput Action action (plugin > AutoInput Action) with the following settings:

1.  set the type to "Text" 
   
2. set the action to "click" 
   
3. set the Value to the group name (ie. Group1). 
   

Create another AutoInput Action action with the following settings:

1. Action: Click
2. Field Type: Id
3. Field Id: com.facebook.orca:id/send_button

This is optional:

You can have tasker go back to the home screen by adding the action: App > Go Home

You can also kill the app by add the action: App > Kill App > choose "Messenger" in the list.

Create a notification that will let you know the message was sent.

You can also go back to the home screen by using the "AutoInput Global Action" Tasker action with the "Back" option :) That exits the app in a cleaner way.
