What Are Headers and Footers in Telegram Forwarded Messages?
A Header appears before the forwarded message. It’s perfect for labels, sources, or attention-grabbers.
A Footer appears after the message. It’s ideal for links, time stamps, disclaimers, or emojis.

These two blocks work independently but can be combined to elevate your message presentation.
1️⃣ Add a Header to Make Messages More Understandable
A header appears before your original message. This is perfect for labeling content—like announcements, reminders, or alerts.
How to Set It:
Open your existing forwarding task
Scroll to the Header section
Type your custom content
Tap Done

Example Header:
📢 New Update:
When someone sends a message like:
We’ll have maintenance at 10PM UTC.
Your target chat will receive:
📢 New Update:
We’ll have maintenance at 10PM UTC.
You just made the message more readable and clearly tagged its purpose.
2️⃣ Add a Footer with Extra Info or Links
A footer appears after your message. It’s ideal for contact links, disclaimers, or just a nice wrap-up.
How to Set It:
In your task, go to the Footer section
Write your content, using line breaks (
\n
) for clarityTap Done

Example Footer:
Need help? Contact us: t.me/abc
Now if someone forwards a message:
Here’s the weekly report link.
It will show like:
Here’s the weekly report link.
Need help? Contact us: t.me/abc
Perfect for support teams or help desks.
✨ Use Shortcodes
If you’re running a crypto signals group or sharing on-chain alerts, shortcodes make your formatting dynamic and automatic.
What Are Shortcodes?
Shortcodes are special tags that get replaced automatically in forwarded messages.
How to Use:
Go to Header or Footer section
Tap “Add Shortcode”
Choose what you want
Insert into your text and save

📖 Some formats you can refer to:
