Hi, First, an API is not a program that interfaces with a service like Facebook. An API is means for a program to interface with a service like Facebook. What you are looking for is not an API, but a program or tool that uses Facebook's API to react to some user activity. That said, what you are looking for should be doable with an IFTTT recipe. Something like this should do the trick: https://ifttt.com/recipes/320935-send-status-per-email good luck, Bernhard

Dear members,
I'm wondering if you have any leads on how to find/implement a Facebook API that tracks the behavior of users and when (consenting!) participants do a particular activity on Facebook (i.e. write Wall post), they receive an experience sampling survey on their mobile phones a few minutes afterwards.
Most likely, the answer is to develop the API oneself. However, I know that such an API has already been implemented and I'm wondering if you know of any resources (particularly for communication researchers who aren't expert programmers), such as web pages, tutorials, or software that may help in implementing such a 'Facebook triggering' system.
Thanks in advance - your feedback will be much appreciated!
Kind regards,
