Hi I'm developing management system for Facebook pages.
All Facebook pages are changed to sytle of timeline by the end of March, they will come to receive message from users.
So I want to add to read inbox of Facebook page, but I can't find how to read it by Graph API. ("/inbox" method is not worked with page access token.)
Please let me know how to do if you know.

Thanks,
Ogawa

I have suffered alot to find the correct url. It is totally different url compare to Profile messaging.

You can read the messages for a page by issuing an HTTP GET request to http://graph.facebook.com/PAGE_ID/conversations with a Page Access Token and read_mailbox permission.

Surprisingly you can reply for page messages also.

You can reply to a user's message by issuing an HTTP POST to http://graph.facebook.com/CONVERSATION_ID/messages

Note that a page can only reply to a user's message. It cannot initiate a private message with a user. Also, a page can respond not more than twice to a user's message before the user has replied back.

Hope that helps.
