⚙️ Group Management - Enable, disable, and settings

The Groups tab is where you choose which groups the bot guards and how.

How do groups appear?

Groups are added automatically when the bot receives the first message from them. No need to add them manually.

If you've added the bot to a group and don't see it:

  1. Make sure you've sent at least one message in the group
  2. Click "Scan groups" at the top
  3. Refresh the page

What you see for each group

For each group in the list you'll see:

In the main row

  • 🖼️ Group image (if any)
  • 📛 Group name
  • 👥 Number of members
  • 💬 Messages this week
  • 🚫 Spammers detected

Enable toggle ⚡

  • On = GroupGuard active in this group
  • Off = bot is there, but not taking action

Bot status badge

  • 👑 Admin — can do everything
  • 👤 Member — sees everything, can't remove

Per-group settings (click the gear ⚙️)

Clicking a group opens an advanced settings dialog:

🛡️ Protection level

  • Soft — warnings only, removes no one
  • Medium (default) — warns twice, then removes
  • Strong — removes spam immediately
  • Custom — you decide what happens for each case

📋 Spam detection rules

Choose which message types count as spam in this group:

  • ✅ Links shortly after joining
  • ✅ Identical message duplicated across groups
  • ✅ Out-of-context promotions
  • ✅ Gambling / sexual messages
  • ✅ Prefixes from blocked countries
  • ✅ Numbers from the global database

🎯 Actions on detection

What to do when the bot detects spam:

  • Delete the message (requires admin)
  • Send private warning to sender
  • Tag the group's admins
  • Remove sender after X warnings
  • Log only (learning mode)

👥 Team permissions

Who can change settings of this specific group:

  • Only me (owner)
  • All TaskFlow admins
  • Custom team members

🔇 Quiet hours

Periods when the bot does not take action (only logs):

  • Days of the week
  • Time range
  • Auto holidays

Bulk actions

Select multiple groups with the checkbox on the side and apply an action to all:

  • 🟢 Enable GroupGuard
  • 🔴 Disable GroupGuard
  • ⚙️ Copy settings from another group
  • 📤 Export data

💡 Tip for power users with many groups: Configure one group exactly the way you want, then use "Copy settings to all groups" from the top menu.

Search and filter

Search box at the top filters by:

  • Group name
  • Member count (large / small)
  • Bot status (admin / member)
  • Activity (active / quiet)

FAQ

What happens if I disable the toggle? The bot stays in the group but does nothing. Stats still get collected, but no protection actions run.

Can I delete a group from the list? Yes — but it's better to just remove the bot from the group. If you delete in TaskFlow, the group will return as soon as you send a message.

The group has grown a lot — how do I keep performance good? We recommend raising the protection level to "strong" and enabling admin tagging instead of auto-removal.
