How to Send a broadcast to your contacts
Message a tagged group of Instagram or Messenger contacts at once or on a schedule. Only people inside Meta's 24-hour window are counted and sent to.
A broadcast sends one message to many contacts: a restock, a sale, an event. Meta only lets businesses message people who wrote to them in the last 24 hours, so Awwtomation counts exactly who can get it before you send.

Who can get a broadcast
Only people who messaged you in the last 24 hours. The count updates as that changes, so a broadcast scheduled for tomorrow reaches whoever is inside the window when it's sent. To reach more people, run automations that start conversations, like comment-to-DM, a day before.
Questions
How many broadcasts can I send?
Ten a month on Starter, fifty on Pro and two hundred on Agency.
Can I broadcast to all my followers?
No. Meta doesn't allow messaging followers who haven't written to you. Broadcasts reach contacts inside the 24 hour window.
