Action Link Guidelines
From Facebook Developer Wiki
Please observe the following guidelines for using action links in your Feed stories.
- An action link is a succinct verb phrase that describes a contextual action.
- OK: "Become a fan"
- Not OK: "Are you a fan of Radiohead?"
- An action link must start with a verb.
- Each action link can contain only one verb.
- OK: "Watch the video"
- Not OK: "Watch the video and win a prize"
- Action links cannot be deceptive.
- Action links should not include unnecessary punctuation or formatting characters.
- Not OK: "Watch the video!!"
- Not OK: "Watch the video (you will love it)"
- Not OK: "[ Join Us! ]"
- As a rule of thumb, action links should be 3 words or less.
- Do not include calls to action in the Feed story body or headline.
- A Feed story can contain only one action link with a max of 25 characters.
