Invite friends dialog

Question

I have an invite dialog on my page:

<a href="#" onclick="sendRequestToManyRecipients(); return false;" >xx</a>
 <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
     FB.init({appId  : 'myappid', status : true, cookie : true, oauth: true});
     function sendRequestToManyRecipients() {
         FB.ui({ method: 'apprequests', message: 'xxx'},requestCallback);
      }
      function requestCallback(response) {
        // Handle callback here
      }
 </script>

When the invited user clicks the invite, he gets linked to the app, but I want the user to get redirected to a page like http://www.facebook.com/pages/xxx/xxx?sk=app_xxxx.

How can I do that?

Agree with previous answers. Facebook will redirect to your app, which is just a Facebook wrapper around a page you can provide. That page can then use a client-side redirect to whatever page you'd like (like what Klout does).

That's not possible without some custom coding - the requests interface exists to drive traffic to apps on facebook, not to page tabs, there's no way to have Facebook send users to a tab when they accept the request.

You could just implement something on your canvas landing page that redirects users back to a page tab based on the information in the request as a workaround.

previous version of the apprequest which is request-form this was possible: How can I include a link in a FB app request?

However current version of apprequest : facebook guys lets only redirect to your app: https://apps.facebook.com/yourapp

@Vihay comments helps this custom workaround to redirect to page.

Hoping next version apprequests, facebook enables redirect to links within the fb app.
