How to filter URLs with Fullyst

It is often necessary to prevent your chat from linking to spam, competitor, or undesirable websites.

To do this, you can use a team of moderators to monitor your chat 24/7. The downsides to this approach are evident, you need to have a team you trust, and your team may miss the link or notice it after some time.

The best way to solve this problem is to use bots like @FullystBot! It’s completely free!

To get started, add a bot to your chat, then go to your chats page and go to the chat settings for which you want to add filtering. Go to the tab with the prominent name “Filters”.

In the Link Filtering section, you’ll see two ways to filter:

1. Allow all links except those listed

2. Prohibit all links except those listed

The second option is suitable if you are a chat administrator for a product or company and want a pre-approved list of websites to which you can post links.

In this example, we will consider the first filtering method.

Let’s add the first website to the exceptions:

After entering the URL, just press “Enter,” and the website will be added to the exceptions.

Then, click “Save these filters” at the bottom of the page, and you will see a small notification in the top-right corner:

Fortunately, @FullystBot works very fast, so we can’t post screenshots with the bad URL in a chat, but here is the screenshot with the latest actions.
