WhatsApp autoposting now supports text messages

You can now pick Text as the post type for WhatsApp autoposting, next to Article Link Preview, og:Image, Photos and Smart.

Some WhatsApp channel posts are the content itself: a daily horoscope, a morning briefing, a list of today’s headlines. Until now, Text was only available when posting manually, so automating those messages meant settling for a link preview or an image you didn’t want. Now your feed can send them as plain text messages automatically, with no one copying and pasting.

Plain text, posted automatically.
