How do I set up an automatic signature so I don't have to add it every time?

Publish or schedule a post with the signature you want, then tap the button that saves your settings.

  1. While creating a post, open Signature and send the bot the signature text.
  2. Publish or schedule the post.
  3. The Save formatting and settings button appears. Tap it, then tap Save as default.

That's it. This signature will now be added automatically to every regular (non-ad) post in the channel.

If you want ad posts to be tagged automatically with #ad or #sponsored, set that up separately.

To create an ad post, tap Ad post in the bottom menu. Then repeat the same steps and tap Save ad settingsSave as default.

To change or turn off the signature later, tap Signature while creating a post, enter the new details, then publish (or schedule) the post and tap the save-settings button.
