Select all Facebook friends in one go to invite them
Few days ago, I created a new fan page for Textile Institute on Facebook. After creating a Event/Group/Fan page , the first task of a creator is to invite people to attend or join or to become a fan. So after completing the fan page I went for invite all my connections.
As there is no “Select All” button initially I got tired of clicking several hundred times on all the pictures to invite people. Then I left selecting and Googled it whether any hack or trick is available to select all friends in one go.
I must say I was lucky enough and finally found a little Javascript snippet which allowed me to select all my 4880 friends/connections in one go.
Curious? Okay, let me show you how to do it.
How to select all Facebook friends to invite them:
- Go to your event/group/page, after completely loading click “Invite people” or “Suggest to Friends“.
- A Friend selector pop up window will open. If you have large friend list like me , wait few minutes depending on your net speed to allow the browser to load all the friends list.
- Now Copy the following javascript snippet and simply paste it into your browsers address field on the invite page with the box with all the friends to select and hit “Enter“.
javascript:elms=document.getElementById(’friends’).getElementsByTagName(’li’);for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === ‘object’){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}
- Wait few seconds and you should see that all your friends have been selected.
- Now click “Invite” or “Send“.
So! Done in one go.
Note:
- This trick will work for Facebook event/group/page.
- It will not work if their any limitation.(Sometimes facebook do not allow to invite more than 20 friends)
- It works not only for creators , it also works for any group member or fan.

It’s still working. Use Opera.

I hadn’t tried this using Opera? I know there are some php scripts out there which are great for mass inviting but they keep getting borked by FB.
