# Channel settings

**You need:** the **Admin** or **Manage Channels** right.

Each channel has its own settings page. Settings apply to every post published to that channel, so you set
them once instead of in each post.

## Open a channel's settings

1. Go to **Channels → [Channels](https://dash.robopost.app/channels)**.
2. Click **Settings** on the channel's card (or open the **⋮** menu and click **Channel Settings**).

The page, titled **Update channel**, shows the channel's name and icon. At the top right:

- **Copy ID** copies the channel's ID, handy for developers and support.
- The trash icon disconnects the channel: see [Disconnect a channel](#disconnect-a-channel).
- For a self-hosted WordPress site, the wrench icon opens its WordPress Dashboard.

After changing anything below, click **Update Channel**. You'll see "Channel updated!".

## Put the channel in a category

Under **Update Channel Category**, pick a **Category**, or clear it. A channel has at most one category.
Create categories first in **Channels → Categories**: see [Channel categories](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/channels/channel-categories.md).

## Advanced settings

Click **Show Advanced Settings** to open the rest.

### Timezone Control Settings

| Setting | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **Enable Timezone Control** and **Timezone** | When you select this channel in the composer, the post's **Timezone** switches to this one. Useful for channels aimed at another region |
| **Max Daily Posts** | The most posts Robopost publishes to this channel in 24 hours. It starts at the network's default (see [Posting limits](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/channels/posting-limits.md)). Lower it to slow the channel down; the field shows the maximum if you go over |
| **Post Signature** | Text added on a new line at the end of every post to this channel, such as a disclaimer or your usual hashtags. It's skipped if the post already contains it |

### Default UTM Parameters for links in posts

Fill in any of **UTM Source**, **UTM Medium**, **UTM Campaign**, **UTM Term** and **UTM Content**. Robopost adds
them to every link in posts published to this channel, so your analytics tool can tell where visits came from.
All are optional.

A UTM value set on the post itself wins over the channel's default. The defaults also apply to the button and
offer links of Google Business Profile posts and to links in WordPress posts.

### Watermark settings

Turn on **Auto apply watermark when posting** to stamp your logo on every image and video published to this
channel.

1. Pick a **Watermark position**: **Top Left**, **Top Right**, **Bottom Left** or **Bottom Right**.
2. Click **Upload Watermark** and choose an image (JPG, PNG, WebP and similar, up to 10 MB), or pick one from
   your media library.
3. Click **Update Channel**.

A team-wide watermark can also be set in **Account → Team** under **Watermark Settings**. When it's on, it
applies to every channel; a logo and position uploaded here take its place for this channel. More about
watermarks: [Media](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/posts/media.md).

## Refresh the channel's connection

Under **Refresh Channel Connection**, click **Refresh Channel Connection** to renew Robopost's access to the
account. It fixes connection problems and updates the channel's name and picture from the network. Facebook
Group channels don't have this button. Step by step: [Reconnect a channel](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/channels/reconnect-a-channel.md).

## Disconnect a channel

1. Click the trash icon at the top right of the settings page, or open the **⋮** menu on the channel's card in
   **Channels → Channels** and click **Disconnect**.
2. In **Disconnect Social Media channel**, click **Yes**.

> **Important:** Disconnecting deletes the channel and all of its posts in Robopost: scheduled posts, drafts and
> published history. Posts already on the network stay there. The channel's settings are deleted too. To fix a
> broken connection, [reconnect](https://dash.robopost.app/docs/channels/reconnect-a-channel.md) instead.
