I set up the broadcast but the automation is not working correctly

Hey y’all — I’m hoping someone can help me troubleshoot this 👀

I created a broadcast subscription sequence where users should:

  1. Receive the “Subscribe to updates” prompt

  2. Click to subscribe

  3. Then automatically move through the rest of the sequence

Here’s the issue:

  • The sequence is not completing once someone subscribes

  • Some people (who already follow me or have past DM history) are randomly receiving only the “Subscribe to our updates” message

  • They do not receive the actual subscribe button or the follow-up messages in the sequence

  • As a result, they’re stuck and never enter the full automation

Everything appears to be connected, but parts of it are showing as not connected or not triggering correctly. I’m not sure if this is:

  • condition issue

  • trigger misfire

  • A problem with existing conversations/followers

  • Or something with how the subscription message is set up

I attached screenshots of what I’m seeing on my end.
Any insight on what I should double-check (conditions, entry rules, exclusions, etc.) would be super appreciated 🙏

Hey ​@Chloer2 there’s a limitation on this feature, and it’s that the subscription message with the ‘Get Updates’ button will show only once.

So if this person already received this message, Meta will not send it again.

Please scroll up and see if this person already received this message. If they did, that’s why this is happening ;)

Hope this helps!!

Thank you but there are no other messages that show the request to subscribe. Here's an example

Ok then this may be a bug ​@Chloer2 

 

I suggest you contact support with it.

Although to be honest, this is a beta feature from several years ago that is no longer supported by Meta, so I’m not sure if they’ll be able to help you a lot here… :S

Ahh ok I didn't know that.
