Overview

A ForwardRule is the fundamental unit of routing in AutoTelegramForward. Each rule links one or more source chats to one or more destination targets, binding custom filters, cleaners, and headers/footers to that specific pipeline.

1-to-Many Fan-Out Routing

Publish once, distribute everywhere. A single source update can automatically be delivered to multiple destinations across different accounts or bots simultaneously:

Source: @PrimaryNewsChannel
├── Destination A: @EnglishSummaryChannel (Clean Copy + English Footer)
├── Destination B: -1001892348271 (VIP Private Group)
└── Destination C: -1001928374928/42 (Forum Supergroup Topic #42)

Instant Rule Duplication (rdup)

Creating complex rules with intricate cleaner flags, headers, and filters for dozens of channels can be time-consuming. AutoTelegramForward provides an instant Rule Duplicate feature:

  • In the bot rule menu, click 📋 تکثیر قانون (Duplicate).
  • The system clones all filters, cleaners, headers, footers, and delay configurations into a fresh rule draft.
  • Simply update the source and destination IDs to activate.

Intermediate Channel Origin Masking

For enterprise operators wishing to hide the relationship between private internal research channels and public broadcasts, AutoTelegramForward supports an intermediate staging channel topology. Posts route from Source → Private Relay → Destination, stripping all internal metadata before final publication.
