3. Send broadcast using Recuring Notifications
Recurring notifications allow your businesses to send recurring notifications on a topic a user has opted-in to receive. During the 24-hour messaging window, a business can request to send users notifications at a set frequency, either on a daily, a weekly, or a monthly basis, for a period of time. Once a user opts-in, your bot can send Recurring Notifications related to ongoing promotions and campaigns that the user is interested in at the set frequency.
Recurring Notifications are a great way for your business to build relationships with customers and keep them apprised of updates.
Your contacts can easily opt out to receive your notifications at any time.
Users can opt-in to receive notifications daily, weekly, or monthly.
- Daily: Send one message per calendar day over 6 month period.
- Weekly: Send a message once every calendar week over 9 month period.
- Monthly: Send a message once every calendar month over 12 month period.
The day before the Notification window expires, all users who opted-in to your recurring notification will automatically receive a message to re-opt-in to the notification again to continue receiving messages.
Your business isn’t required to always send them a message on the frequency they opted-in. For example, if a user opted-in to your daily notifications, you can send them notifications 3 times a week instead of 7 times without any problem.
Before you can send a user recurring notifications, a user needs to opt-in to receive your notifications. Follow this step to get user consent.
- On the flow builder, select Messenger as the message type.
- Add the “Notification Request” content.
3. Choose or create the topic and provide a short description of your Recurring notification. The topic name is visible only to admins.
