Firebase Cloud Messaging sending messages one by one

I am developing an app where I want to send notifications to multiple users from my backend server. These notifications will contain 4 different contents, three of them will go to 3 different users, but the forth one will go to more than 1000 users, the frequency of theses messages will be 3 to 7 times a week. Is it ok to send this amount of messages one by one using the Cloud Messaging api? Or should I group the messages before sending?

I thought about creating a topic in the Cloud Messaging, and subscribe the users to it and then send a message, but I don't if it is correct to keep subscribing/unsubscribing users just to send one message.

NOTE: I've never used any push notifications service before.

The Firebase Cloud Messaging infrastructure delivers billions of messages per day. The volume you're describing sounds well within reason for it.

Without knowing more about the use-case it's hard to say whether using a topic would be a better approach, so I recommend reading the documentation on topic messages to get a better understanding for it.
