[Messenger] How can I use getProfile results in batch Messages? about messaging-apis

[chentsulin]

Hi @rbaks
This one would do the trick:

client.sendBatch([ 
  MessengerBatch.getUserProfile(USER_ID, { name: 'profile' }), 
  MessengerBatch.sendText(USER_ID, 'Hello {result=profile:$.first_name}'), 
]);

The order should be ensured by facebook.

the server detects that the second operation depends on the first one, since the second operation references the result of the first one using JSONPath. The server executes a dependent operation only after the operation it depends on has finished executing.

@chentsulin It works but how can I assure that sendText waits on the results of getUserProfile before executing? Always in a single batch request
