The NPI approval process could take up to a few weeks. It is suggested that you complete this procedure beforehand.

Alert!

If the Facebook Page is not NPI approved and you have started sending Messenger Push Notifications, notifications will only be sent to an audience that has sent out a message to the page in the last 24 hour window.

Below is the list of permissions once the iZooto Application is connected.
