Welcome Drip Sequence

Greets every new person who starts your bot and sends them a short series of tips on its own: after 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days and 7 days. One tap stops the tips at any time.

Who it's for: For products, communities and newsletters whose new users try the bot once and forget it. Nobody has to follow up by hand. The tips never trap anyone, because stopping takes one tap.

  1. /start
  2. 👋 Welcome — great to have you here! GreenLeaf helps you plan meals for the week in two minutes. Over the next week I'll send you a few short tips to help you get the most out of it. You can stop them anytime with one tap.
  3. Here's a good place to start 👇

  4. 🔕 Stop the tips
  5. ✅ Tips stopped — you won't get any more of them. You can still write to us here anytime.
A new user is welcomed and can stop the tips

How it works

  • Someone sends /start and gets a short, friendly intro to what your product does
  • They're automatically enrolled in the Welcome tips series — no extra step for them
  • A menu appears with two choices: a Learn more link and a Stop the tips button
  • One hour later, the first quick-start tip lands in their chat
  • More tips follow on day 1, day 3, and day 7 — each one timed to keep them engaged without feeling like spam
  • The day-7 message invites a reply, so anyone who wants to talk to a human can
  • Anyone can tap Stop the tips at any point and gets an immediate confirmation that it's off

Setup requirements

  • Connect your Telegram bot: Settings → Bots → paste the token @BotFather gave you.
  • Open the "Welcome tips" sequence and rewrite the four tip messages to match your product — they ship with generic placeholder text and default delays of 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days.
  • Set the Learn more button's link and the short product intro to your real product.
  • Press Deploy, then test with a real account: send /start and confirm the greeting and menu arrive immediately (the first tip follows an hour later).
  • If you have a purchase or signup flow, add a step there that unsubscribes the contact from Welcome tips, so buyers stop getting onboarding tips once they've converted.
  • Someone needs to watch your bot's inbox — the day-7 tip invites replies, and those land as regular messages.

Details

Good to know

  • The four tips ship with generic, honest placeholder text — edit each one in the Welcome tips sequence to talk about your actual product.
  • Delays are fixed offsets from the moment someone joins (1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days), not calendar dates — so a Tuesday sign-up and a Friday sign-up each get their own schedule.
  • The series keeps going until someone taps Stop the tips — there's no automatic stop when they make a purchase. If you have a checkout or signup flow, it's worth adding a stop step there too so buyers don't keep getting "welcome" tips.
  • The opt-out is always one tap: button press, confirmation, done.
  • Every message, delay, and the two menu buttons are editable afterwards in the visual editor.

Common questions

  • What should the intro message say about your product, in a sentence or two?
  • Where should the Learn more button point?
  • Do the default timings (1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days) work for you, or would you rather space them differently?

Keep in mind

  • Don't tell people the tips stop automatically after they buy — they don't, unless you add a stop step to your purchase flow yourself.
  • Don't leave the placeholder tip text in place — it's intentionally generic; make it specific to your product before launch.
  • Don't remove the Stop the tips button — always leave an easy way out.
  • Don't add more than a handful of messages — four well-timed tips beat a daily barrage.
