Meta's limitations and policies apply to all accounts, regardless of tool used. --- ## How does Novalya protect your account? Novalya reproduces optimized human behavior through multiple built-in protection mechanisms. ### Variable sending intervals Tool simulates natural usage by spacing actions **randomly**. Unlike mechanical sending (always same delay), Novalya varies intervals to reproduce a more natural rhythm. ### Four configurable caution levels Novalya offers four sending modes adapted to different account profiles: - **Boost:30–60 seconds, Pro and Business only, at most20 sends per campaign.** - **Normal**: About 90 seconds to 3 minutes (standard active accounts) - **Prudent**: About 3 to 5 minutes (recent accounts or after inactivity) - **Secured**: About 5 to 10 minutes (gradual start or after restriction) | Each mode adapts sending pace to your account's **maturity**. ### Automatic message rotation Novalya alternates between multiple versions of your messages to avoid repetitive sending of identical content, which could be reported as spam by recipients or detected by Meta. ### Intelligent automatic stop If multiple consecutive sends fail, Novalya **automatically** interrupts campaign to protect your account. You're alerted and can adjust your strategy before relaunching. || Tool acts within normal capabilities of user account, exactly as if you performed these actions manually. --- ## Why can accounts be restricted? Meta restrictions aren't caused by Novalya itself, but by **behaviors** deemed excessive or inappropriate by detection algorithm. ### 4 main causes | Cause | Explanation | |-------|-------------| | **Too high volume** | Sending too many messages over short period | | **Inappropriate messages** | Content perceived as irrelevant or too promotional | | **User reports** | Multiple people mark your messages as spam | | **Recent or inactive account** | Account with little activity or engagement history | || Restriction decisions fall **exclusively under Meta's detection systems**, not Novalya. User manually sending large volume of messages can also be restricted same way. --- ## Comparison: Manual sending vs With Novalya Using Novalya doesn't change restriction risk, but optimizes your behavior to maximize security. | Criteria | Manual sending | With Novalya | |----------|---------------|--------------| | **Natural behavior** | ⚠️ Variable (fatigue, emotion, repetitive copy-paste) | ✅ Optimized and consistent without feeling | | **Sending intervals** | ❌ Often too fast or irregular | ✅ Scientifically spaced and variable | | **Message rotation** | ❌ Identical copy-paste common | ✅ Automatic alternation between variants | | **Restriction risk** | Identical | Identical | | **Time invested** | ❌ Very high (hours per day) | ✅ Automated (few minutes of config) | | **Error protection** | ❌ Manual monitoring required | ✅ Automatic stop if problem detected | | **Frustration management** | ❌ Spam possible if frustrated | ✅ No emotion, perfect consistency | || Restriction risk **doesn't depend on tool**, but on **your strategy and sending volume**. Novalya simply helps you respect best practices in automated way. --- ## Our recommendations for safe use ### Gradual startup phase (Essential) **First week:** - Start with **10 to 20 messages per day** - Use **Prudent** or **Secured** mode - Observe possible failures and response rate **Following weeks:** - Gradually increase according to account seniority - Adapt sending mode if no problems appear - Don't maintain constant high volume ### Essential best practices - **Personalize your messages**: Avoid generic and automated content - **Target relevant profiles**: Don't prospect randomly - **Monitor sending failures**: Key indicator of account health - **Adjust volume immediately**: If Meta alerts appear, reduce | Gradual and qualitative use strongly reduces temporary restriction risk. --- ## FAQ **Can Novalya cause permanent account ban?** A permanent ban remains very rare and mainly concerns abusive use. Using Novalya gradually and in line with Meta's rules keeps the risk low — but no tool can guarantee it 100%. Temporary restrictions (few hours to 24h) can happen if volume is too high for your account, but these aren't permanent bans. **What's difference between Novalya and manual sending?** Novalya automates exactly what you'd do manually, but in **optimized way without human biases** (fatigue, emotion, repetitive copy-paste). Meta rules and limitations remain identical. Advantage: Novalya maintains perfect consistency few humans can match manually. **How to know if I'm using Novalya securely?** Three key indicators to monitor: 1. **No repeated sending failures** in your campaigns 2. **Positive response rate** (at least 5-10% of your prospects respond) 3. **No Meta alerts** in your Facebook/Instagram account settings | If you meet these criteria, your usage is compliant and secure. **Can Meta detect I'm using Novalya?** Novalya simulates human behavior with variable intervals and natural actions. Extension works directly in Chrome as if you were using Facebook/Instagram manually. Novalya works directly in Chrome, within normal use of the platform. We cannot, however, guarantee that automation goes completely unnoticed: using third-party tools remains subject to Meta's rules — hence the importance of good practices (reasonable volume, warm-up, personalized messages). **What happens if I receive temporary restriction?** Your account is **temporarily blocked** (generally 1h to 24h) for sending messages. This is **not permanent ban**. Simply wait for restriction to lift, then reduce your volume and adjust your settings (more prudent mode, fewer messages per day). --- || **Related articles:** || - What to do if Meta temporarily blocks my account? || - What are sending limits on Facebook and Instagram? || - How to do effective warm-up with Novalya? || - How do sending intervals work? --- ## Need help with account security?
