# Enable Announcement Group Protection

> Protect your announcement groups from scam messages by automatically removing content sent by participants who are not admins, and receiving the sender's data via webhook.

<Warning>
  Notes about this endpoint

  * Only works in announcement groups where the instance is an admin.
  * Ignores admins.
  * Each message generates a webhook event.
  * The author is not removed automatically.
</Warning>

## Overview

The Anti-Scam Protection in Announcement Groups automatically removes, for all participants, messages sent by scammers — that is, participants who are not admins — in community announcement groups, where only admins can send messages. Whenever a message is removed, you receive a webhook event containing the author's data. This way, your application can identify the responsible party and take the necessary action, such as removing them from the group.
