How do I use Admin Assist in my Facebook group?

Admin Assist can help you manage posts and participation in your group based on criteria that you set. Here are a few ways you can use Admin Assist:
  • Limit who participates in the group by automatically declining incoming posts from certain users, such as new members or people without profile pictures.
  • Automatically approve membership or participant requests by certain users, such as people who answered the membership or participation questions.
  • Reduce spam in your group by selecting preset criteria that automatically decline posts and comments that are likely to be spam.
  • Automatically decline posts that independent fact-checkers have determined contain false information.
  • Limit promotional content by declining posts that include links or that include certain keywords.
  • Manage conflict by removing posts that are reported a certain number of times.
  • Automatically share feedback with people whose posts don’t meet each criteria, giving them the option to edit and resubmit their post for review.
