Combot Pro features are once again free for groups with 100 members or less. You can use Combot for free in your testing groups and smaller communities. Enjoy! This is only related to Combot Pro features, analytics dashboard remains free for everyone.

Good news! Combot will now send the welcome message directly to the user (instead of sending it to the chat). For that to work, @combot must be administrator with "add members" permission. Also, a group must have "Approve new members" enabled. This helps to reduce the clutter in the chat.

Czech, Romanian and Slovenian languages were added to Top Telegram Groups catalogue.

Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Javanese, Somali, Telugu, Tajik and Amharic languages are now supported by @combot. You can help us to translate the bot here.

You can now select which topic will be used for welcome messages. By default they are sent to "General".

Also, you can make filters work only in certain topics by selecting them from the drop-down menu. But enabled filters will always apply to "General" topic.

For these features to be available, @combot must be aware that your group has topics. If you don't see your topic in the list or don't see the option to select topics, create a new topic or rename an existing one to make @combot aware of that.

We're still looking for translators. You can help us to translate the bot here. Translators will be rewarded, bounty terms are here.

New filter to delete stories.

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.

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

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.
