New .gban and .gmute commands can be used to ban and mute users across multiple groups.

You can now set up to 5 "tags" for each group, available on "Settings" page. When you send a global version of the command, Combot will try to do the same action in other groups with same tags.

You can now define a message which will be automatically posted by Combot as the very first comment in your discussion group, usually used to display "rules", but can be user for other purposes as well. You will find the new option under "Comments moderation" section.

Add @combot to your channels to keep track of users who join and leave your channels. You will now see your channels on combot.org, if you don't see yours, remove the bot and add it back. Channels are marked with bullhorn icon on combot.org. Please note: this functionality is not yet available for groups, but it will be in the nearest future.

For every user, timeline which shows when and how many times did they join or leave is now available. This timeline will record invite links, too, and will show the user who added/removed the user if applicable. Currently available for channels, coming soon for your groups, too.

Additionally, you can now export all reputation and XP points at once, check "Data" tab for the endpoint.

You can now see if a user participates in other groups or channels you administrate and if they left any. Good way to check if a user is still in target channels and when did they left. Elements are clickable and you can traverse between user profiles in different groups. Try it! You can also see the date of the last message for that user.

Chart of user messages (time series) is now available individually for every user. You can open it on "Users" tab. This time it includes all groups that you administrate, allowing you to see user activity in multiple groups at once. This update also allows you to export this data as CSV or in other formats.

Combot removed you

Today we're launching new Scheduler module for scheduling customizable messages for your groups and channels. The new module is to replace old "Announcements" tab, most importantly it allows you to manage all of them on a single page.

These functions are currently free of charge and are available for both groups and channels.

Popular cases include:

- advertising
- managing all announcements in your groups
- daily reminders to your groups/channels
- scheduled reminders about upcoming events

You can read more about this module in our guides:

Our friends have launched a game called City Holder on Telegram.
We like it, so here is the link.

Not an advertisement, but we're curious to see what comes out.

New filter to delete messages containing quotes from external sources, such as public channels. Sometimes used to avoid spam filters.

Introducing mod reactions!

It is now possible to perform quick administrative actions with Combot even faster than before.

How it works:
- Any group admin who has Telegram Premium can add this custom emoji pack (reactions) by @combot.
- In order for them to work, all reactions must be enabled in your group.

Reactions do following actions:
1. Deletes the message
2. Warns the user
3. Mutes the user
4. Bans the user
5. Bans the user and deletes all their messages that were sent in the last 2 hours

It works by default in all groups with administrative commands enabled. You can set one of these as Quick Reaction on mobile devices to perform the action with double tap.

You can now use our API to check information about a user in your group (channels are supported, too). You can use this to verify that a certain user is still in your group/channel and when did they join and whether they left and when.

Useful for gaming applications these days and tasks that involve checking users' presence in your group/channel. API is provided free of charge. You can get your API key on combot.org by logging in and checking "My Profile" in the upper right corner.

Please note that Combot will only respond with information about users that joined after Combot was added to your group/channel. You will also see who added/removed that user to your group, essentially implementing a referral system of your own or finding out who removed a user in the past.

New API endpoints to mute, unmute and kick members. Also, new endpoint allows to export analytics dashboard now so you can show it on your website or mini app!

More API methods are coming, along with documentation. Automate your airdrops or games with Combot, by using new API endpoints to work with XP/reputation/analytics.

While we've been quiet on the update front, significant work has been happening behind the scenes. We're pleased to announce major improvements to Combot's spam protection capabilities, namely CAS (Combot-Anti Spam, cas.chat).

CAS has received a complete overhaul and is now exceptionally efficient at identifying and blocking various spam types. The enhanced system can detect sophisticated techniques including pattern-based messaging and coordinated spam campaigns, successfully blocking spam attempts before they reach your groups.

CAS announcements (in groups) are reworked to include multiple users to reduce amount of messages. Some old announcements will be removed automatically. During attacks you will see less messages from Combot, but efficiency remains the same.

Another significant addition to Combot is new retroactive capability. Retroactive CAS protection works continuously in the background and will remove bots/spammers even if they are not active.

CAS remains completely free for all users of Combot. Additionally, CAS API remains free for developers who wish to implement our anti-spam capabilities into their own applications and services.

We're excited to announce a major upgrade to Combot's referrals analytics with a completely redesigned interface.

📊 Comprehensive Referral Tracking

Invite links - members who joined via shared invite links, new members will be attributed to the link creator, but can be tracked by links themselves as well
Approvals - members who were approved by admins, disregarding the link
Direct invites - members invited directly by other users

Also, there are no date range limitations anymore, effectively eliminating the need to export the data month-by-month.

New API endpoint without limitations is present for groups with Pro.

The new referrals interface is rolling out now across all Combot groups. Visit your group's analytics to explore the enhanced referral insights!

Introducing Combot for Telegram channels!

We're excited to announce that Combot now supports Telegram channels! Previously focused on groups, Combot has expanded to help channel admins manage and understand their audience better.
