What is One Time Notification (OTN)?
As you know Facebook Messenger Platform doesn’t allow to send message after 24 hours of last interaction by any subscriber.
Once any subscriber interacts with your Messenger, you have 24 hour time to send promotional message as many as you want (Don’t spam).
After 24 hours, you are not allowed to send any message (Except using some specific tag only for non promotional message.)
Here One Time Notification API is provided by Facebook to send promotional message after 24 hours window.
Source : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/send-messages/one-time-notification
The Messenger Platform's One-Time Notification API (Beta) allows a page to request a user to send one follow-up message after 24-hour messaging window have ended. The user will be offered to receive a future notification. Once the user asks to be notified, the page will receive a token which is an equivalent to a permission to send a single message to the user. The token can only be used once and will expire within 1 year of creation
Live demo check & be notified once any sale is Started
Why it’s so important ?
After deprecated sending message after 24 hours, OTN is the only option to send promotional message now.
OTN message sending is happened in two steps. First you will need to set bot that asked for permission to send future promo message regarding any specific offer.
Later, you will be able to broadcast message to those people, have given permission for sending message.
So, asking this permission & Opt-in by subscribers are super easy. Users just need a click to get subscribed for it.
And that’s guaranteed & fully proved that Messenger has almost 95%+ open rate. So it’s hundred times better than sending email broadcast.
Just imagine, if you have 500 users subscribed for Black Friday offer or any other promotional campaign, once you broadcast them, almost 450+ people will open it.

Hi
Great job!
But sincerely this is just like a half bread which is better than none
This feature is not that so useful
But i appreciate the efforts and time invested
From the research level, development and to testing phase now
Please
Email & SMS drip campaign is 10× more important than these and should be on the top priority level pls
As we all know
It requires series of followups to close sales and one single message is never enough
The drip campaign for 24hour promo doesn't give enough time for lead Nurturing
Email drip campaigns is the solution for now and most chatbot platforms have it now
With Automation features
Also..
When creating drip campaign for email & sms
Give the possibility to add or remove a user based on tags/labels and subcribe a user to another drip campaign based on label
This is the feature xerochat needs more than anything
I recommend you release that feature as an addon
We are Ready to buy
The earlier the better
Thank you-

After the click Notify Me, you can only send to them (1) ONE broadcast and that's it?
Then if you want to send a second broadcast promotional, you have to send them Notify Me again?
If so, way too complicated-

3 years agoAfter the click Notify Me, you can only send to them (1) ONE broadcast and that's it? Yes.
That's how Facebook has designed this feature.

3 years agoWell, kind of a useless broadcast feature now. This was a lot of work for you, thank you, but it seems that messenger broadcast is fairly useless, unless it's strictly transactional i guess. No idea what purpose now.
