Quick answerSubcode 1545133 is not clearly documented by Meta. Automation tools report two causes: a temporary Meta-side failure that succeeds on one retry, and a refusal to deliver rich messages (buttons, carousels, media) to people who do not follow the account. If a retry fails, send the first DM as plain text with the link inline.
Tell the two cases apart
| Pattern | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Random, one retry works | Temporary failure | Retry once after 30 to 60 seconds |
| Always on non-followers, only with buttons or media | Rich message refused | First DM as plain text with the link, rich messages after they reply |
Why the second case hurts
A comment allows one private reply. If that reply is refused, you may not get another chance with that person.
Safe default for first DMs
Keep the first message short, deliver the link, and ask a question they can answer. Once they reply, the 24-hour window opens and buttons and carousels work normally.
