Publishing with the attribution line

Once a licence is approved, @OnflowAdsBot publishes the post in your channel for you. You do not copy or forward it yourself.

The same on every plan

Publishing and the attribution line are the same on every plan, for free and paid licences alike.

What gets published​

  • A photo, video, animation, document or audio post is copied from the source channel, with its caption and formatting, and the attribution line is added at the end of the caption.
  • A text post is sent as a new message with the same text, formatting and link preview, and the attribution line at the end.
  • A translated licence is published with the translation the owner approved.

The post appears as your channel's own post. It is not shown as a forward.

The attribution line​

The attribution line sits on its own line at the end, after a blank line. It reads Source:, then the source channel's name in bold, then Join. Join is a tracked invite link into the source channel.

Diagram The copy carries the attribution line, and joins through Join count for the source channel.

Joins through the link count towards the source channel's growth figures. They are not a reward and nobody is paid for them.

The check before publishing​

Just before publishing, the bot checks that the source post is still the one the owner listed. If the source post was changed, the licence is held and you are asked whether to go ahead. If the source post was deleted, the licence cannot be published and you are refunded.

See your licences​

The Licences tab lists your licences as a host, with their state, the price you paid and a link to the published post.
