decline all page invite like requests on facebook

Post by shahincanada » Mon Apr 12, 2021 9:06 am

iMacros for CR v10.1.0, Free, CR Version 89.0.4389.114 (Official Build) (64-bit), Win10.

Hi,

Can someone help me decline all page invite like requests on facebook ? I tried making a macro, but got stuck on line 3:

VERSION BUILD=1010 RECORDER=CR
URL GOTO=https://www.facebook.com/pages/?category=invites
TAG POS=5 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=CLASS:bp9cbjyn<SP>j83agx80<SP>taijpn5t<SP>c4xchbtz<SP>by2jbhx6<SP>a0jftqn4
TAG POS=1 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=TXT:Decline
TAG POS=6 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=TXT:Confirm

basically for each request, there is a unique "ATTR=CLASS", so I don't know how to identify it to batch decline all. This line represents the "three dots menu button "..." which open up the menu to click "decline", and then "confirm"

If anyone can help me with this or some other trick, this has been a pet peeve of mine for a while when using fb.

cheers

I'm in google chrome, windows 10

Hi,

thanks for your suggestion, when I go to the mobile site, the URL I posted redirects to this: https://m.facebook.com/pages/launchpoint/?_rdr

do you know how I can get to the page invites page from the mobile site ?

also you said share screenshot, you want a screenshot of the page I am looking at ? I will do that now.

sorry I don't see how to upload an image here.

but if you have a facebook account and you go to this URL:

https://www.facebook.com/pages/?category=invites

I think you'll see the button with the three dots which is to the right of the blue "accept"

Hey Guys, could you both read and follow the Forum Rules...!? :!:
=> Screenshots need to be uploaded directly to the Forum and not to any 3rd party Pix Hosting Site...

And hum, I was going to say that the Screenshot was "not really needed" to understand the Scenario (if you have a FB Account indeed), but hum, the "Wording" of the Page "for me" is slightly different, although I also use FB in English, so it might still be useful...
=> "Invites" = "Invitations" for me... // "Page Invites" = "Page invitations" for me... // + No "Notifications" Element/Header for me... (On CR76.)

But I'll be a bit impressed @techimac if you find a working Script only from the Screenshot..., directly and without being able to test... (in less than 50 Lines, @OP is using the 'Free' Version..).

Hi chivracq

I have clicked "notification settings" from the https://www.facebook.com/pages/ site

Now I have it set to: "you'll no longer see notification dots for pages"

about images, I don't see a way to upload, only a button with the following code: "Image" ... I guess I have to input a path from my desktop there ?

anyways, I hope what I have just done solved the problem.

I have an unrelated question: I am not an "advanced" computer guy, I'm just wondering what are useful things I could do with imacros that might improve my "computing" ... Is there any post on this forum about interesting uses for imacros by "average joes" like me ?

cheers

looks doable in 50 lines

use "Accept" as anchor TAG
Then use relative position of "..." element

Inspect element in detail

tag pos=1 type=...... extract=txt
tag pos=R1 type=........

after that do the remaining clicks

TAG POS=1 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=TXT:Decline
TAG POS=6 TYPE=SPAN ATTR=TXT:Confirm



Can be run in loop

chivracq: the "show notification dots" button did nothing. can you give me the exact URL for your "invitations" page ? I wonder why I don't see that. otherwise I will have to try techimac's method. Also just to clarify, did you find a way to turn off notifications from the page you are referring to ?
