Greet every new member with a welcome they will actually read.
Writing your own greeting — with {name}, {count} and {group} placeholders — is free on every plan. Limzo greets in your group’s own language, collapses a join flood into one message, and holds the welcome until a newcomer passes your captcha. Pro adds an image, a button and rich formatting.
Yours to write, free
Type your own greeting with {name}, {count} and {group} and it posts on every plan, Free included. Leave the box empty and new members get a friendly built-in hello in your group’s language, with the week’s champion and a link to your public stats page.
Pro adds the polish
Upload a welcome image, add one inline button (like “Read the rules”), and format the text: bold, italic, quotes. The words themselves are free — Pro is the styling around them.
Raid-safe and captcha-aware
Joins in a burst collapse into a single message, never a flood. And when newcomer verification is on, the greeting waits until a member passes the captcha, so a bot that never verifies is never welcomed.
How to set a Telegram welcome message
Add Limzo to your group, then open Limzo Mini App → Reports → New members. “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.
Limzo vs Telegram’s built-in welcome message
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.
More than a greeting
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.
