Whitelist

You can set a list of words or regex patterns that tell the bot to process message you receive from source channel only if it has at least one of the whitelisted word or regex pattern match. Make sure to use the right syntax by reading the examples below.

Important Information

• Using Simple Syntax will match words partially. This means that when you whitelist the word "es", it will allow every message containing best, rest, test because each of them have the word "es" within.

• If you want to match words fully, please use the regex example

• Make sure to use the Python Flavor with regex101.com otherwise your regex will not work on

• When this command is used incorrectly, it will cause redirections to stop working. Always make sure you use the right syntax when using whitelist and do use regex only if necessary. Make sure you build your regex with regex101.com before inserting them into Auto Forward Bot.
