Telegram welcome message with name, media and buttons
Greet new members of your Telegram group with their name, a photo or video, link buttons and automatic clean-up of the previous welcome. Free with Pibbo.
A good welcome message tells newcomers what the group is about and where the rules are — and makes them feel seen.
