Messenger

This tag covers Facebook Messenger's messaging policies and why they restrict automated, RSS-triggered broadcasts in ways that don't apply to standard Facebook Page timeline posts. It explains the 24-hour messaging window, message tags, the Recurring Notifications API, and how these rules have narrowed over time, including changes landing in early 2026. Readers here are typically trying to understand why a Messenger broadcast automation either never worked as expected or recently stopped working, and what compliant alternatives exist. It also contrasts Messenger's recency-based rules with consent-based channels like email or SMS marketing. This is useful background for any business that maintains a Messenger presence alongside its social media automation.
