I tried to use:

    method: \'send\',
    link: \'ht         


        

Answer 1

This is what you are looking for:

Link:

<a href=”fb-messenger://share/?link= https%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.facebook.com%2Fdocs%2Fsharing%2Freference%2Fsend-dialog&app_id=123456789”>Send In Messenger</a>

JavaScript:

window.open('fb-messenger://share?link=' + encodeURIComponent(link) + '&app_id=' + encodeURIComponent(app_id));

Please note that it works only on mobile. For more information see here:

Answer 2

You can use the Send Dialog, which is not supported on mobile: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/send-dialog#examples

Alternative for mobile: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/messenger

Answer 3

FWIW the following link, clicked on a desktop computer, will allow your user to share the link via Facebook Messenger. You have to replace app-id with the app-id of an arbitrary app of yours, created at developer.faceboook.com:

http://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=[app-id]&link=https://stackoverflow.com&redirect_uri=https://stackoverflow.com

Answer 4

<a href="fb-messenger://share/?link=http://url-you-want-to-share.com&app_id=your-app-id-here">
... 
</a>

Does not seem to work on desktop, but I could be wrong.
