Set a custom welcome message

Greet people the moment they open your bot β€” sell the value before the plan menu.

Updated: July 24, 2026

The welcome message is the first thing a person sees when they open your bot with /start β€” before the list of plans. Use it to pitch your community.

Steps

  1. In the panel or Mini App, open My bots & plans and edit your bot.
  2. Fill in the welcome message (what your community offers, what's inside, why join).
  3. Save.
πŸ”§ What happens under the hood

On /start, the bot sends your welcome text first, then the plan menu. If you leave it empty, buyers go straight to the plans. The custom welcome is a plan feature β€” it's available on plans that include it.

πŸ’‘ Tip

Keep it short and benefit-led: one line on what they get, one on the vibe. Save the details for after they join.
