In today's fast-paced digital environment, being visible to your audience is no longer optional-it is necessary.

While platforms such as WhatsApp and Instagram have opened new doors for automation, Facebook Messenger customers remain a gold mine for engagement, especially when it comes to recurring communication and long -term nutrition.

But there is a grip, due to Facebook's 24-hour messaging policy, you can only convey the message to users within 24 hours of their final interaction-until they choose to get clear updates clearly. This is the place where the broadcast and recurring notifications come in- and makes both seller and buyer incredibly easy to manage. Let us see what the broadcast and RCN really mean, how they work, why they are important for the modern abolition in 2025, and how to install them in a botSeller with zero coding.


📣 What is Broadcasting?

Broadcastingis the process of sending abulk messageto all or a segmented group of subscribers. It’s just like sending an email newsletter — but through Messenger, WhatsApp, or Telegram.

Instead of reaching out one-by-one, you can:


  • Blast out flash sale notifications
  • Send time-sensitive offers
  • Distribute content (like blog posts or video links)
  • Share reminders, updates, and event notices


❗ The Limitation

Facebook Messenger’s default 24-hour rule makes it difficult to broadcast-until the user has recently interacted. Without again, your broadcast will not be issued. This is the reason that RCN is a smart, policy-completion work-round to make Facebook broadcasting powerful with the consent of the users.


🔁 What is RCN (Recurring Notification)?

RCNstands forRecurring Notification, a feature launched by Meta to help businesses message users by sending messages evenafter the 24-hour window— provided the user consents via an in-chat prompt.

With RCN, businesses can send:


  • 📆 Daily tips or product updates
  • 🛒 Weekly offers or discounts
  • 🗓️ Monthly newsletters or event reminders


All this without breaking Messenger’s strict policy — because theuser opts in voluntarilyto receive updates under a specific topic (e.g., “Daily Deals” or “Weekly Tips”).


🧠 How Facebook Braodcasting (RCN) Works:


  1. You create an RCNnotification topicand assign it to a postback for Facebook Broadcasting.
  2. In Messenger, the user taps a button linked to this postback.
  3. Messenger shows anative popup, asking for permission to receive updates.
  4. If the user clicksAllow, you can legally send them messages under this topic for the next6 months.


🎯 This system gives control to the user — and builds trust between your business and your subscribers.


✅ Why RCN is a Game-Changer in 2025

Let’s face it —Messenger engagement has changed.

People no longer want spammy, infiltrative messages. They wantvalue-based updates— and that’s exactly what RCN delivers.

Here’s why it matters now more than ever:

🔹 1. Meta policy compliance

There is no risk of account ban or punishment - you are working within the system.

🔹 2. Long-Term Retention

The RCN constantly lets you stay in touch without relying on the attachment again.

🔹 3. HighOpen Rates

Those users who choose are more likely to open and work on your messages.

🔹 4. Revenue Growth
