Before you start this article, I suggest you take a look at the following article that explains how classic notifications work on Botnation.
What is a recurring notification?
This is a Facebook Messenger notification that will be sent regularly for a defined period. For example, with this feature, you can send a notification every day or every Friday and Sunday of each week.
How to access it?
As for notifications, click on the bell at the top of the screen and then on the "Recurring" tab.
Press the "Add Recurring Campaign" button and the following screen will appear:
This is the screen that allows you to configure your recurring notification.
For the first 3 steps, the process is the same as for a classic notification.
Scheduling Recurring Notification
The schedule screen is very similar to a classic notification except that here you can choose the sending frequency from the scrolling list surrounded in red.
This list gives you the choice between running the notification every day or every week. If you choose weekly, a day list will appear allowing you to choose the launch days by clicking on them (you can choose more than one day).
In the example below, we have chosen to launch the notification every Tuesday.
You just have to choose the time of execution of the notification, its period of life and finally to press "Activate". It should be known that in the absence of end date, the notification will launch without time limit.
The list of campaigns
In the Campaigns list, you have all the necessary informations:
A notification has a state that can be:
Under construction: the notification is paused and is not scheduled to start,
Pending: the notification is scheduled but the launch date has not yet passed,
In progress: the notification is scheduled, the launch date has passed but not yet ,the end date,
Completed: the end date of the notification has been reached.
In this list, you can see the date of the last pass and its number of associated recipients.
To see the list of all the Executions, click on a campaign and you will have access to the complete summary.
