Setting Up Welcome Messages

Setting Up Welcome Messages

Welcome messages automatically greet new members when they join your Telegram group, helping them feel welcomed and informed.

Creating a Welcome Message

1. Go to your group's Automations > Welcome Messages section.
2. Click "Create Welcome Message".
3. Write your message using the editor. You can include:

- Dynamic variables like {first_name}, {group_name}, and {member_count}

- Markdown formatting for bold, italic, and links

- Buttons with links to rules, resources, or your website

1. Choose when to send it: immediately on join, or after a short delay.
2. Click "Save" to activate.

Dynamic Variables

Use these placeholders to personalize messages:

• {first_name} -- the new member's first name
• {last_name} -- the new member's last name
• {username} -- the new member's Telegram username
• {group_name} -- your group's name
• {member_count} -- current number of members

Best Practices

• Keep it concise -- a short, friendly message works better than a wall of text
• Include group rules or a link to them
• Add a call to action -- ask new members to introduce themselves
• Use a delay of 5-10 seconds so the welcome appears after the join notification

Important Notes

• Welcome messages are sent only once per member, even if they leave and rejoin.
• You can have multiple welcome messages active. They will be sent in sequence.
