Facebook RCN Broadcasting is a powerful feature in BotSailor that allows businesses to send highly personalized and timely messages to their Facebook Messenger subscribers using the RCN (Recurring Notification) permission model.
With Facebook’s standard messaging window restrictions (24-hour rule), businesses often struggle to re-engage users after 24 hours of inactivity. RCN Broadcasting solves this by enabling you to continue sending messages beyond the 24-hour limit — legally and compliantly — with user consent.
In this guide, we’ll explore what Facebook RCN Broadcasting is, why it’s important, how it works inside BotSailor, and how you can use it to drive engagement and sales effectively.
RCN (Recurring Notification) is a Messenger policy that allows you to request permission from users to send them multiple proactive messages over a defined period — such as daily, weekly, or monthly.
When a user accepts a recurring notification request, you are allowed to send them updates even after the 24-hour standard messaging window closes. However, you must specify the notification topic, frequency, and respect user opt-outs at any time.
BotSailor makes using RCN Broadcasting easy with its intuitive interface. Here’s the process:
Facebook RCN Broadcasting inside BotSailor is a game-changer for Messenger marketing. It unlocks new possibilities for customer engagement, allowing you to build deeper relationships without worrying about the 24-hour rule.
