When a new member joins a Telegram group, send a public message that is automatically deleted after 15 minutes

Automatically welcome new group members with a custom message—then watch it gracefully vanish after 15 minutes, no awkward clutter, no hassle.

  • Instantly when the trigger is activated
  • Instantly when receiving a member in a group (telegrambot → webhook_new_chat_member)
  • Reply to the user (telegrambot → reply)
  • Pause a task for a predefined time period (btzpauseresume → delay)
  • Delete a message (telegrambot → delete_message)

Welcoming new members to your Telegram group can be a hassle—especially when you’re juggling other admin tasks or managing an active community. Without automation, you have to be alert and manually send a greeting each time someone joins, risking delays, overlooked welcomes, and a less-than-warm first impression. Worse, these welcome messages can clutter the chat over time if they linger, making the group look messy and less engaging to newcomers and regulars alike.

This Botize automation solves all that: the moment a new member enters your Telegram group, the bot instantly posts a personalized welcome message—complete with their name if you wish. After 15 minutes, that message is automatically deleted, keeping your chat tidy and your welcomes timely. You keep full control over the message’s content, and the bot only acts with permissions you define, ensuring the experience fits your group's vibe perfectly. No more missed greetings or chat clutter—just an inviting community atmosphere, effortlessly maintained.

Ready to streamline your group’s onboarding? Follow the simple steps in Botize to set up this automation or activate the pre-built formula to get instant, clutter-free welcome messages with zero hassle. It’s the smart, professional way to upgrade your community—and your peace of mind!

This automation is triggered when a new member joins a Telegram group. When the event is detected, the bot sends a public welcome message to the group. After a fixed delay of 15 minutes, the message is automatically deleted. You can customize the welcome message content (for example, including the user’s name). Make sure the bot has permission to send and delete messages in the group.
