Welcome Messages for Telegram

Prepare group greetings and, for supported join paths, private welcome messages that introduce your community and its next steps.

Group Welcome Messages

Automatically greet new members in your group with customizable messages. Include their name, group rules, or any information you want them to see right away.

Private Welcome Messages

Send onboarding details directly to a member when Telegram's join flow makes the member's private chat available to the bot. Private delivery has stricter eligibility than a group welcome.

Rich Media Support

Include images, buttons, and formatted text in your welcome messages. Add inline buttons linking to your website, rules, or onboarding resources.

Admin Delivery Notifications

Get notified when welcome messages are successfully delivered — or when they fail. Track which new members received their welcome and which ones need follow-up.

Per-Group Customization

Set different welcome messages for each of your Telegram groups. Each community can have its own tone, rules, and onboarding flow tailored to its audience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will new members get a welcome message automatically?

A configured group welcome is sent through the group workflow. A private welcome is sent only when someone joins a private group through a Metricgram invite link, or joins a public group with Approve New Members enabled. Test the two delivery types separately.

Can I include the new member's name in the welcome message?

Yes. You can use placeholders like the member's name or username to personalize each welcome message automatically.

What if a member has blocked the bot?

A private message cannot be delivered if the member has blocked the bot or the join did not create an eligible private-message window. Check the join path and whether another administrator bot handled the request first.

Can I add buttons to the welcome message?

Yes. You can add inline buttons with custom text and URLs — perfect for linking to group rules, your website, or onboarding resources.
