Auto Accept Request Bot

The channel grows and join requests pile up. Tapping "approve" by hand dozens of times a day is tiring, and while you sleep, people drift to whoever accepted them faster. Auto Accept Request Bot fixes this: add it as an administrator and it approves requests itself. 🤖

The bot's description is brief: it accepts requests automatically, and that is enough. It has two commands, /start and /help.

Where requests come from

Requests appear when an invite link requires administrator approval. An ordinary link lets everybody in at once, and no bot is needed for it.

That setup gives you control of the inflow and lets you, for example, greet newcomers before they join. Without a helper, though, you press the button yourself. 🔗

Five steps to connect it

1. In your channel or group settings, create an invite link and switch on the join-request option.
2. Add the bot as an administrator.
3. Give it the right to invite users via link.
4. Hand out this specific link.
5. Test with a second account.

The exact permission name in the app can vary by client version.

Why it may not work

• Ordinary link: no requests means nothing to approve.
• Bot not an admin: a plain member cannot do the job.
• Missing invite right: enable it in the administrator settings.
• Old requests: a bot usually sees requests that arrive after it was added.

Is a filter still worth it

Auto-approval removes routine work and removes screening too. Spammers and bots get into the channel as well, if nothing else stops them.

For a private or paid channel, consider whether automation fits: you may keep manual review for sensitive groups. 🔒

After people join

• Welcome: pin a post with the rules.
• Spam protection: add separate moderation in the chat.
• Statistics: watch subscriber growth and churn.

Give the lowest admin rights possible. The invite-via-link permission is enough, and the bot needs nothing else. 🛡️

Choosing when to automate

Switch automation on when a big wave of requests arrives: after an ad post, a mention in a large channel or a contest. Handling those by hand is impossible.

In calm periods you can go manual and see who wants in. Profiles with an empty avatar and an odd name often turn out to be bots.

You can change your mind at any time: remove the bot from administrators and requests wait for you again. Think ahead about how you will share channel rules so newcomers know where they landed. 📌

The bot by numbers

The bot has about 140,000 monthly users, which shows how common the task is. It is a free helper of the kind channel owners connect first.
