Abstract
Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for allowing a first user of a messaging platform to send follow-up message(s) to a second user after expiration of an allotted messaging time period without violating existing messaging policies based at least in part on opt-in messaging. The first user may perform an API call to an API of a messaging server to send a follow-up message request. Based on the request, the messaging server may send an opt-in message to the second user who may then explicitly opt in to receive a follow-up message from the first user. A qualifying response by the second user to the opt-in message may cause the messaging server to generate a unique token for the communicating pair. The first user may send the follow-up message to the second user by sending the message with the token.
