Mr Zayafkachi: Auto-Approve Requests

You turned on join requests for your channel, and a week later hundreds of people sit in the queue and nobody wants to click approve one by one. Mr Zayafkachi takes over that chore: it auto-approves new requests and works through the backlog. ⚡

The name refers to the Russian word for request, and the bot works with both channels and groups. Its profile claims round-the-clock operation with no days off.

What it does

• Approves new requests as soon as they appear.
• Clears the old queue: pending requests are processed in seconds, per the description.
• Works with channels and groups.
• Needs no manual work after setup.

Setup in four steps

1. Open the bot and press /start.
2. Pick a language with /lang if needed.
3. Add the bot as an admin of your channel or group.
4. Make sure it has the right to add members, then check that the request queue starts shrinking.

Grant the minimum rights: only what is needed to accept requests. Nothing more is required. 🔧

Two commands

/start restarts the bot, /lang changes the interface language. There are no other commands, and the rest is set up by adding the bot to a chat.

Why join requests exist at all

When people join by request, you see newcomers before they get in. That guards against bots and spammers. Auto-approval switches that guard off, because it accepts everybody.

So the bot fits where no filter is needed and requests are on for another reason, such as counting where people come from or sending a welcome message to each new subscriber.

What an admin should weigh

• Spam and bots: with no manual check you get everyone who taps the button.
• Bot rights: an admin with extra powers is dangerous, so limit them.
• Foreign links: connect the bot only from the link in its profile.
• Paid channels: if entry should depend on payment, auto-approve does not fit.

Removing the bot when you are done

Open the admin list of the channel or group and take away the bot's rights. Do this once the queue is cleared or when you want manual moderation back.

Check your admin list now and then and remove helpers you no longer need. That keeps control of your community with you. 🛡️

Phrases like "safe and fully reliable" in a description remain promises. Test it on a small channel before attaching your main one.
