Review mode

Review mode

@Junction_Bot has a feature that allows you to manually edit posts from the source before publishing them to the destination. It also allows you to manually approve or skip posts for publication. We call it review mode. How does this work?

  1. Create a new forwarding rule with the command /new. Note that review mode works only with a direct connection.
  2. Apply the setting review on to the source at Menu → Forwarding settings → Choose source and destination → Review mode. Also, to do that you can use a command
    /settingchannel source_channel_reference review on
  3. Now for every new post in the source your connected account will automatically send a copy of that post to the special bot @Junction_Review_Bot. Under every post there will be information about the source and destination and “Publish” and “Skip” buttons.
  4. Since the post is published on behalf of your account, you can edit it directly in chat with @Junction_Review_Bot.
  5. If you want to publish the resulting post in the destination, click the “Publish” button.

To deactivate review mode, use Menu or the command
/settingchannel source_channel_reference review off

It’s also possible to send posts to a group for approval. To do this, use the setting Menu → Forwarding settings → Choose source and destination → Group review.

  • Note that @Junction_Review_Bot and your connected account must be admins in this group.
  • The group number should be specified in TgID format. That is, it should be a negative number, sometimes starting with -100. Simply speaking, if your group number is 4019780662, then its TgID will be -4019780662 or -1004019780662.
  • If the above conditions are not met, you will get a NO_ACCESS error.

A few important points about this mode:

  • You can still use any replacements and filters on your forwarding rules. They will be applied before the message is posted for review.
  • You can use the “Publish” button as many times as you like. Each time, the system will publish the current version of the post in the desti.
  • When you enable a review mode you automatically enable delivery on behalf of your account (delivery copy_client). This means that the connected account must have publishing rights in the destination. Also, it means that buttons from the original post will not be transferred.
  • Editing is not automatically transferred from source to destination.
