Welcomes every new volunteer
As soon as someone joins the group, the bot greets them, so the arrival is noticed instead of passing unnoticed in the feed.
A project by IT Community of Uzbekistan
Welcome Bot
A small Telegram bot that lives inside the IT Community volunteers group. It greets everyone who joins and asks them to say a few words about themselves.
Nothing to install and nothing to open: the bot works in the group itself.
What it does
Two things, both at the right moment
The bot does not run the community. It covers the first minute in the group, which is the minute people usually spend not knowing what to say.
Asks for a few words about yourself
It invites the newcomer to introduce themselves, which is how the community finds out who joined and what they do.
Where it sits
The last step of onboarding
Becoming a volunteer takes several steps, and the Welcome Bot is the one that happens after all of them.

Welcome
The bot says hello
The greeting arrives, and with it the invitation to introduce yourself to everyone else.
Main goal
Why such a small bot exists
Onboarding that feels friendly
The first minute in a new chat sets the tone. A greeting makes the group feel like a place where someone was waiting for you.
Comfortable from day one
The prompt gives a new volunteer a reason to write their first message, and gives everyone else a reason to answer it.
Want to be greeted by it?
The bot waits in the volunteers group. The way there starts with an application and the onboarding tasks.
Already in the group
If the bot has greeted you and the introduction is still unwritten, that message is the easiest way to start taking part.
