The 24-hour Messaging Rule: What It Means & How To Prepare

Facebook Messenger’s policy changes are still right around the corner (Facebook has postponed the deadline from January 15, 2020 to March 4, 2020)! It’s important that you start preparing now. So over the next few weeks, we’ll cover what the changes mean, how to prepare, and how to set up high-performing campaigns in 2020. First up, the 24-hour messaging rule! What the policy says: Businesses have 24 hours to respond to a user. Any time someone interacts with your bot (subscribing via growth tool, tapping a button, typing a response, etc.) you have 24 hours to message them, including promotional messages. Every new interaction re-opens the 24-hour window. But once it closes, you can no longer send messages for free. What it means for your campaigns: The +1 of the 24+1 rule no longer appli...

LinkedIn Looks to Improve Messaging Interactions with ‘Focused Inbox’, Adds New Sales Analytics Tools

LinkedIn’s looking to help members better manage their LinkedIn inbox, by filtering out more of the junk, with a new ‘Focused Inbox’ UI, which will essentially re-route less valuable messages into an ‘Other’ tab in your LinkedIn message stream. As you can see in this example, LinkedIn’s Focused Inbox update will now provide you with two separate InMail tabs – ‘Focused’ and ‘Other’. Though ‘Other’ could just as easily be labeled ‘Spam’ – and it’ll also be interesting to see where LinkedIn’s Sponsored InMails end up in this separation. Like, a lot of those are junk too, but I’m guessing that LinkedIn’s not going to shift them over to the ‘You Can Ignore These Messages’ section if brands are paying to promote them. As explained by LinkedIn: “[The Focused Inbox] is an intelligent, dual-tabb...

Meta Announces ‘Recurring Notifications’ for Business Messaging, a Significant Shift in its Platform Approach

This is an unusual switch up in Meta’s business messaging rules. This week, at its first-ever ‘Conversations’ messaging conference, Meta announced ‘Recurring Notifications’ on its Messenger Platform, which will enable businesses to send ‘proactive, automated messages, to people who have opted in to receiving them’. As you can see here, businesses will soon be able to send recurring notifications to users that opt in, with the upfront prompts outlining the frequency of messages that they’ll likely receive if they choose to get them. Businesses will be able to send sales notifications, updates, newsletters – pretty much whatever they like, with the frequency options ranging from daily to monthly, ‘so businesses can reach customers at any moment in their journey’. Which is pretty much the ...

TikTok Publishes New Report on the Benefits of an Integrated Media Strategy to Boost Brand Messaging

Yes, digital platforms are where everyone is consuming media these days, with more people spending more and more of their time using social apps to stay connected and entertained at all hours of the day. But that doesn’t mean that traditional TV is dead. As noted by TikTok: “Despite viewers having more options, Linear TV (or traditional TV) remains extremely influential within entertainment and will continue to be a marketing tentpole. But as consumer attention spreads across new platforms, so should marketing strategies.” Despite rising focus on various apps, and despite video becoming the most popular content type across all of them, traditional TV still plays a key role in our connective process. Our homes are virtually built around the TV set as the central engagement device, and as ...

When chatting with your personal assistant, you want as little delay as possible in order to get things done quickly.When I joined Haptik after graduating from college in May 2015, my first technical challenge was learning the messaging architecture. In July 2015, I suggested to our CTO that we shift from XMPP to MQTT. Our mobile apps (Android & iOS) and Athena (web chat tool used by our assistants) used XMPP for real-time messaging. We were facing a lot of issues with XMPP. To point out a few, XMPP lacks built-in Quality of Service (QoS). QoS is an agreement between the sender and receiver of a message regarding the gua...

How To Build an Email List With Live Web Chat and Automated Messaging

I learned the basics of how to build an email list from scratch some time ago. But it wasn’t until I needed to know how to build an email list before launching a new product that I learned how to build an email list with a website chatbot. Using a website form to collect emails usually results in a conversion rate between 1% to 10%, and the average website conversion rate is roughly 4%. However, with a chatbot, your email capture conversion rate can skyrocket. In fact, the website chatbot I’m about to show you increased our website conversion rate by over 100%. And this is why we love digital marketing, right? Because there’s always a better way to do what’s already been done thousands of times already.

Facebook Warns EU Users of Impacts to Messaging Due to Changes in Privacy Laws

Facebook has outlined the latest messaging changes for European users as a result of new data security and privacy laws in the region. Europe's Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive - also known as the 'ePrivacy Directive' - is being expanded from this week in order to incorporate more forms of digital communication. The Directive relates to how user data is stored and used, and how businesses can use platforms, including messaging tools, to distribute marketing material. The latest changes relate to how long data can be kept, and what types of information can be gathered via messaging apps. Facebook outlined coming changes to Messenger API usage for European businesses earlier in the month, and now, it's looking at the consumer side, and how everyday users will be impacted. As e...
