Recent updates from InviteMember
✅ You can now broadcast messages of all types: photos, gifs, stickers, audios, voice notes, videos, video notes, documents, locations, etc. (Project > Telegram bot > Broadcast).
✅ Your bot is now showing invite links in the same message ("Join channel/group" button is replaced with invite link for 3 seconds). A customer should simply double-click the button to get inside.
✅ We've implemented a new algorithm for showing invite links. It's more user-friendly but less secure (no more errors like "the invite link is invalid or expired"). If you wish to try it out, please contact @InviteMemberSupportBot.
✅ Your bot is now asking for email when someone is starting his free no-CC trial.
✅ If you've enabled no-cc free trial for a subnoscription plan, your bot will show it as the only payment option to the new users (to avoid confusion).

Stripe Integration Updated
On 14 September 2019, new requirements for authenticating online payments will be introduced in Europe as part of the second Payment Services Directive (PSD2).
Your business is affected if all of the following apply:
🇪🇺 Your business is based in the European Economic Area (EEA);
🇪🇺 You serve customers in the EEA;
💳 You accept cards (credit or debit).
In order to comply with PSD2, we updated our Stripe integration to support SCA (Strong Customer Authentication). Starting today, we're using the newest Stripe Checkout for all payments & subnoscriptions created with InviteMember.
Stripe Checkout is a smart and responsive payment page that has Dynamic 3D Secure support (SCA-ready) and already localized in 14 languages.
Your membership bots are already updated. To reduce failed payments, we highly recommend enabling automated emails in "Manage payments that require 3D Secure" section of Billing Settings page in Stripe Dashboard. You can also customize your logo and color on Branding page, it will affect your Stripe Checkout page look and feel.
Live Demo of Stripe Checkout integration:
1. Launch @YogaMemberBot;
2. Click Monthly or Yearly;
3. Click Credit/Debit Card;
4. Open payment link;

Google Pay is coming to Stripe Checkout
Stripe team has just announced that they're adding Google Pay to Stripe Checkout next week!

Customer Support via Telegram
Customer support via Telegram can be hard. Especially, at scale.
Here's why:
😳 Making your personal username public will quickly flood your chats list and mix your work-related and private chats together.
🤔 Having a second Telegram account will keep your business and private chats separated, but it won't give you professional support features like saved replies, snoozing and closing conversations, automated feedback collection, etc.
🧐 Some omnichannel support systems like Intercom have Telegram integrations, but usually, such integrations have poor and limited support of anything except simplest text messages (think of images, stickers, gifs, voice messages, etc).
😬 Simple feedback bots like Livegram are quickly becoming unusable with more than 5-7 active chats.
We're actively looking for a way to improve customer support workflow for Telegram-based businesses like yours.
So we invite you to complete our new survey and share your thoughts with our team:
https://forms.gle/aHWE3aLMWjDrhFpi9
Your responses will help us to improve existing feedback features of InviteMember or probably even launch a new support tool for Telegram pros. 😎
