Your guide to forwarding messages with ForwardMsg.
Your guide to forwarding messages
ForwardMsg automatically forwards new messages from Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and Slack to Discord, Telegram, or Slack. It can carry text and supported media—such as images, videos, audio, files, and stickers—and you can choose how each copy should look. The exact types and upload limits depend on the platform and enabled options; see Forward Options and compatibility and upload limits.
With your own account, copy messages from any chat your account has access to. You do not need to own that chat. You do not need to be an administrator. Choose the conversations that matter to you and bring their messages together wherever you want them.
Keep the original text, remove the author's name, add your community's header/footer, replace a link, or forward only the posts you want. For example, turn Maya: New update into Community news: New update with Message Format, or replace an old invitation link with yours using Replace or Remove Text.

Chats receiving copies (Destination)One automation can copy messages from many chats and send each chat's messages to its own destination. Your account or bot monitors the source chats it has access to, and ForwardMsg creates the copies with your chosen format. Discord messages can also include embeds—rich cards attached to messages, such as link previews or bot posts.
