Before you start
You need to be a group administrator who can add administrators. Choose one of our two bots. They have the same features and independent settings. Use only one of them in each main group.

Choose your main group
Select the group where the bot will check access. In this example, we select Main Group. You must be an administrator who can add other administrators.
Connect your group · 03 / 25
Give the bot administrator rights
Allow the bot to delete messages, ban users and invite users via links. Press Add Bot as Admin. You do not need to enable every other permission shown here.
Connect your group · 04 / 25
Confirm the connection
If Telegram asks you to confirm adding the bot as an administrator, press OK. You only need one of our bots in this main group.
Connect your group · 05 / 25
Open the setup wizard
The bot confirms that Main Group is connected. In the private group menu, press Set up checks to configure the access conditions.
Set the access conditions · 06 / 25
Choose the group language
Choose the language for notices to group members, then press Next. The language of your own private menu is configured separately.
Set the access conditions · 07 / 25
Choose the access conditions
Choose subscription only, add a member only, both conditions, or either condition. This example uses Subscription plus add a member. Choose the option that suits your group.

Add a subscription target
Press Channel to check to select a channel. You can also choose Group to check. Use the same bot for your main group and all its subscription targets.
Set the access conditions · 09 / 25
Select the channel
Choose the channel that members must subscribe to. Here it is called Channel to Follow. Telegram will ask you to add the bot to that channel.
Set the access conditions · 10 / 25
Add the bot to the channel
Make the bot an administrator of the selected channel so it can check subscriptions. Confirm by pressing Add Bot as Admin. Do not grant unrelated permissions just because they appear in this example.
Set the access conditions · 11 / 25
Return to the wizard
The channel shows a confirmation message. Press Continue setup to return to the private conversation with the bot and continue configuring your main group.
Set the access conditions · 12 / 25
Add another target if needed
The selected channel now appears in the list. You can add up to three channels or groups on Free. To include a group as well, press Group to check.
Set the access conditions · 13 / 25
Select the group to join
Choose the group that members must join. This is a subscription target, separate from the main group where posting access will be checked.
Set the access conditions · 14 / 25
Connect the target group
Make the same bot an administrator in the target group and confirm. It needs administrator status to check whether members have joined.
Set the access conditions · 15 / 25
Continue after connecting the group
The target group confirms that the bot is connected for membership checks. Press Continue setup to return to the wizard for the main group.
Set the access conditions · 16 / 25
Review your subscription targets
Both selected targets are now listed. Check that they are the ones you want. When the list is complete, press Next.
Set the access conditions · 17 / 25
Choose who must meet the conditions
New members means people who join after checks start. Everyone also includes existing members who write without meeting the conditions. Choose an option and continue.
Set the access conditions · 18 / 25
Choose how many people to add
Choose one, two or three new members. This example requires one. Members must add a person manually through Telegram. Sending an invitation link does not count.
Set the access conditions · 19 / 25
Set added-member monitoring
Posting access opens as soon as the conditions are met. Choose how long to monitor whether an added person leaves, or choose Do not check. This is monitoring, not a waiting period.
Set the access conditions · 20 / 25
Choose the access period
Choose a fixed access period or Unlimited. At the end of a fixed period, the bot checks the conditions again. A valid subscription still counts. A new member is needed for a new period when adding someone is required.
Set the access conditions · 21 / 25
Review and start the checks
Review the group, subscription targets, member count and periods. The numbers shown here are only an example. If everything is correct, press Start checks.
Check and manage the result · 22 / 25
Check the result with a regular account

The Anti-spam screen explains checks against known spammer databases and how to appeal a mistake. Anti-spam is independent of the access conditions. The toggle shows whether it is enabled.
Check and manage the result · 24 / 25

The White List lets you exempt selected people from the bot's conditions and anti-spam checks. Press Add a person to add a trusted account. Remove someone later to apply checks again.

Change settings at any time

Frequently asked questions
Does the bot ban ordinary members?
The member stays in the group. Three confirmed attempts to post without meeting the conditions within an hour block posting for 24 hours. The counter is hidden: the first two cards show only the conditions; the third briefly explains the block. Meeting the conditions lifts only this daily block. Another series within 24 hours after the full block expires causes an indefinite block, lifted by an administrator. Check errors and invisible cards do not increase the counter. Anti-spam works separately.
Why does the bot need administrator rights?
To remove blocked posts and service events, restrict known spam accounts and create a Join button for a private required channel or group. Member addition tracking itself still counts only people added manually.
Must the bot be an administrator in required channels?
Yes. Telegram allows reliable membership checks only when the bot is an administrator there.
Can the interface and group use different languages?
Yes. The administrator chooses a personal interface language and a separate member notification language for each group.
Can I use only channel subscriptions?
Yes. Choose Subscriptions only; member addition tracking and the other optional tools can stay off.
