Step by step

1. 1

   In Messages → Sticky messages, add a named rule and choose the channel.

2. 2

   Compose the notice with the editor and preview. Check variables supported in this context.

3. 3

   Set the message count, delay and cooldown between reposts.

4. 4

   Enable, save and use Preview and publishing for the first copy.

5. 5

   Send a test message: the old copy is replaced once repost conditions are met.

Repost cadence

Settings limit repeated reposts in busy channels. Trigger message counts range from 1 to 100, delay from 2 to 120 seconds and cooldown from 10 to 3,600 seconds. Choose a useful cadence rather than reposting every second.

Removal and suspension

Available removal or suspension actions let you stop a rule without manually creating several copies. Spider must be able to post and remove its messages. Check errors if the old publication or channel is no longer accessible.
