Greet every new member with a welcome they will actually read.

Add Limzo to your group, then open Limzo Mini App → Greetings. “Greet new members” is on by default and sends the built-in multilingual welcome. To customize it, type your own text in Custom welcome text and use {name}, {count} and {group} as placeholders; leave the box empty to keep the default greeting in your group’s language.

Pro groups can also upload a welcome image, add an inline link button, and format the message. An optional Auto-delete the welcome switch removes the greeting a few minutes after it posts, to keep the chat tidy.

Pick one, copy it into Limzo Mini App → Greetings → Custom welcome text and change the details to fit your group. {name} becomes the newcomer’s name (or several names, when people join together) and {group} your group’s name. Every example is plain text, so it works on the Free plan.

What makes a welcome message work

• Keep it short. Three or four lines get read; a wall of text gets scrolled past.
• Say what the group is for and give one next step: say hi, read the pinned post, or type /rules. /rules shows the rules you save in the Mini App.
• Warn about scams where they happen. In crypto, trading and giveaway groups, say that admins never DM first, and turn on automatic link removal so scam links posted in the chat are deleted too.
• Let the greeting be the only notice. Switch on join and leave message cleanup, so members see one friendly welcome instead of a stack of “joined the group” lines.
• Use {name}, not a fixed name. When several people join within a minute, Limzo greets them all in one message with every name filled in.

Telegram added a welcome message of its own in August 2026: open your group profile and choose Edit → Welcome Message. It is free, only new members see it, and it can carry media and rich formatting. If a fixed greeting is all your group needs, use it — no bot required.

Limzo’s greeting does what a fixed message cannot. It fills in {name}, {count} and {group} for each member, greets in the language your group actually speaks, collapses a burst of joins into one message instead of one per person, and — when newcomer verification is on — waits until someone taps “I’m human”, so an account that never verifies is never greeted. It can also clear itself a few minutes later to keep the chat tidy.

The welcome is one part of a full community engagement bot. The same bot measures activity, rewards helpful members with karma, levels and achievements, posts one weekly highlight, and gives your group a public stats page, while its moderation system, newcomer captcha and join and leave cleanup keep the chat clean. One quiet bot instead of a stack of single-purpose ones.
