You must authorize Auto Forwarder Bot to access your group chats.

  1. In your chat with the bot, type the command /authorize.

  2. Follow the prompts to grant the necessary permissions.

Step 3: Set Up Incoming Chats

To filter spam messages effectively, configure the incoming chats from which Auto Forwarder Bot will monitor messages.

Step 4: Set Up Filters to Identify Spam Messages

With your incoming chats configured, you can now set up blacklist to catch spam messages.

Using the blacklist Command

The /blacklist command blocks messages containing specific words or phrases, preventing them from being forwarded to the outgoing chat.

How to Use It

  1. Send the /blacklist command to the bot.

  2. Add words or phrases to be blocked using the following format: /add_blacklist WORDS_TO_BLOCK Example: /add_blacklist SPAM or /add_blacklist BUY NOW

  3. Aagebot will review all incoming messages and, if any contain blacklisted terms, they will not be forwarded.

Important: All blacklist, filter, and whitelist terms are case-sensitive. For example, "spam" and "SPAM" are treated as different terms. Make sure you input the exact case (uppercase or lowercase) of the word or phrase you wish to block, filter, or whitelist. If "SPAM" is blacklisted, messages containing "spam" (in lowercase) will still be forwarded.

Step 5: Test Your Filters

After configuring your filters, test their effectiveness:

  1. Send a test message in the incoming chat that matches your spam criteria.

  2. Check if Auto Forwarder Bot successfully applies the filter and modifies the message accordingly.

Step 6: Monitor and Adjust Filters

As your group evolves, the types of spam messages you encounter may change. Regularly monitor the effectiveness of your filters and adjust as needed.

  1. Review Filter Performance: If certain spam messages still get through, consider adding more keywords or changing your criteria.

  2. Feedback from Group Members: Encourage members to report any spam that slips through, allowing you to fine-tune your filters.

Step 7: Removing a Filter

If you want to remove a word from the blacklist:

  • Use the /rem_blacklist command.

  • A list of your blacklisted words will appear, each with a number.

  • Select the word you want to remove by typing its corresponding number.

After removal, messages containing the word will no longer be blocked.

Conclusion

By utilizing Auto Forwarder Bot for spam filtering, you can create a more engaging and organized environment in your Telegram groups. The customizable filters allow you to tailor the bot's behavior to your specific needs, saving you time and enhancing group management.
