From Mattermost v7.2, using a web browser or the desktop app, you can forward messages in public channels to other public channels. From Mattermost v7.5, you can also forward messages from bots and webhooks.

<Note>

Private channels, direct messages, and group messages intended for specific people can't be forwarded.

</Note>

To forward a message:

  1. Select the More icon next to a message, then select Forward.

  1. Specify where you want to forward the message, and include an optional comment.

Forwarding a message also generates a preview of the message.

<Note>

Previews respect channel membership permissions, so they’re only visible to users who have access to the original message. If the link is to a message in a public channel, any member of the team can see the message preview. If the link is to a message in a private channel or direct message, only members in that channel can see the message preview.
