Telegram Group Joiner

A web tool to automate joining groups, useful when you're entering a new research topic and have a start point of Telegram groups that are important to monitor. If you have private channel invites, those work too.

You can preload a URL with links if you separate them by ; in the URL using links= parameter:

# these 2 links
https://t.me/bellingcat
https://t.me/+privateInvite,123id
# should be put into the same line and separated by `;`
https://t.me/bellingcat;https://t.me/+privateInvite,123id

resulting in https://bellingcat.github.io/telegram-group-joiner/?links=https://t.me/bellingcat;https://t.me/+privateInvite,123id
