Engagement Limitations

  • Tagging individuals in Facebook Posts cannot be performed from engagement columns.

  • Use the current location according to the profile time zone, employment history, and all links posted by the user.

  • Creating Persistent Search.

  • Change an Album cover for the Facebook album from Sprinklr.

  • Businesses have up to 24 hours to respond to a message sent by a person in Messenger when using standard messaging. A bot may also send one additional message after the 24-hour time limit has expired. The 24-hour limit is refreshed each time a person responds to a business.

Note:


Facebook's API does not support real-time updates for Dark Posts, External Mentions, or engagements on Event pages. Messages may not be pulled into Sprinklr in real-time.

Additionally, Facebook API limitations acknowledge that a small percentage of real-time-supported engagements may not be pulled into Sprinklr immediately.
