Show the ”welcome” message only for the new users in the Telegram group

I am an admin of some Telegram group. I added a bot to it. For every new user, I deleting the old welcome message and adding the new one, to reduce the number of irrelevant messages.

Is there any way to show the ”welcome” message only to a specific user? Or to send him a private message with a ”welcome” message? Or maybe any other interesting solution that you have to show information for specific users only without spamming others?

The answer is NO! You can't send users private message if they haven't started the bot, and if you do that, you get an error:

Bad Request: chat not found

  • You may send welcome messages and delete them after a while.
  • You may save new users somewhere and check your list every minute; if it isn't empty, send a single welcome message and mention all of them, and clear your list for the next minute.
