The Whitelist By User feature allows you to forward messages only from specific users, channels, or groups that you select. By using a Whitelist, you can specify which users' messages should be forwarded using their USER_ID or USERNAME.


How to Use Whitelist By User

To forward messages only from selected users, follow these steps:

  1. Find the User ID of the users you want to whitelist:

    • Open the chat where you want to forward messages from specific users.

    • Use the command /getid in the chat.

    • Note down the User ID that appears in the response.

    Example:

    /getid
    
    ➑️ User ID: 123456789

    Note: Make sure you are using a Telegram account connected to the AutoForward Telegram Bot to execute the /getid command.

  2. Create a Whitelist Rule in the app:

    • Go to Dashboard β†’ Tap on Whitelist β†’ Add New.

    • Select Whitelist By User as the Whitelist Type.

    • In the Content Whitelist field:

      • Enter the User ID (e.g., 123456789) or the Username (e.g., @trusted_user).

    • Tap Create Whitelist to save the rule.
