How to enable forcible membership in Telegram bot?

Telegram bot owners typically have a Telegram group or channel related to their bot’s content. Therefore, ensuring that bot users have access to group and channel content is crucial. This can be achieved through a feature in Telegram bots known as “forcible membership,” which obliges bot users to join Telegram channels and groups.

What is forcible membership?

Enabling this feature mandates users to join your group or channel before accessing the bot services, offering you the following benefits:

1. Receive news in your field of work.
2. Direct your users to a specific aspect of the bot.
3. Have a more exclusive relationship with your users.

Advantages of using forcible membership in telegram bot:

1. The number of members of your telegram channel will increase.
2. The higher the number of channel members related to your bot, the higher the rank of your bot.
3. This ensures that only those genuinely interested and deemed important have access to the bot, as only channel members can utilize the bot’s buttons. (This feature keeps only real users who are interested in your bot and care about it.)
4. You can introduce your brand and business.
