How do I invite readers to my WhatsApp or Telegram channel?

In this story

Where: Settings → Content & publishing → Follow buttons

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/settings/distribution (replace <your-site> with your site address)

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Site & brand → Add features. The page is called Features.
  2. Find Messenger channel button under For your site. If it is not there, open Other niches. Tap Switch on (or Show in my admin). When it shows On, it is ready.
  3. If it shows Needs and a plan name, your plan does not include it yet. See Choose a plan.
  4. Open Settings → Content & publishing → Follow buttons.
  5. Find the WhatsApp and Telegram channels part.
  6. Paste your channel links and save.

Good to know

  • Only the site owner can switch features on. Others see: "Only the owner can add features. Ask the owner to switch one on."

Common problems

I cannot find Messenger channel button in my admin. Why: The feature is off or not yet installed. Fix: Open Settings → Site & brand → Add features and tap Switch on or Show in my admin. If a screen says "This feature is switched off. The owner can switch it on in Features.", ask the owner.
