Barclays £200 Switch offer - Direct Debits

I opened up a Barclays account to get the £200 Bonus but Chase rejected my switch as I forgot I still had the linked savings account open, and the barclays app now won't let me switch that account. So, I have quickly setup a new account with my other bank and added my Plum and Moneybox Direct debits to this, which are now showing in that account. My question is, will these be accepted as the 2 direct debits by Barclays, or do I need to wait for the first payment to be taken before applying to switch?
