Invite links in Telegram are a powerful tool for tracking subscriber growth, analyzing promotion efforts, and managing access to your channels or groups. Here’s a detailed guide on how to create and maximize their potential.
Why You Need Invite Links
Invite links are helpful for the following purposes:
- Tracking the sources of new subscribers and the number of subscribers from each source.
- Analyzing the effectiveness of different promotional channels.
- Running referral programs.
- Controlling access to a channel or group.
Here’s why they matter. I recommend tracking your activities right from the start: How many subscribers did you gain (if any) after sharing your channel link somewhere? This helps you focus on the most effective promotion methods while dropping those that don’t work
Invite links are also great for setting up referral programs in your channel. For example, you can give unique links to active subscribers and reward them for inviting new members. You can even host a contest where the winner is determined by the number of new subscribers invited through their unique link.
Additionally, you can create temporary links for exclusive events or discussions, valid only for a specific period. Limit the number of new members by setting a usage cap, which is useful for creating exclusivity or controlling community growth.

How to Create an Invite Link
You can create these links from the desktop app:
- Open your channel or group.
- Click on the channel name.
- Click “Edit” in the top-right corner.
- Go to the Invite Links section.
- Click “Create a New Link.”
- Assign a name—something that clearly identifies the source—and click “Create.”
- The new link will now appear in the list.
- If you click on its name later, you’ll see the specific users who joined via that link under your username. To copy the link again, click the three dots in the top-right corner.
Always use these links whenever you launch a new activity! :)
Types of Invite Links
When creating a link, you can add optional restrictions (shown in step 8 above):
- Permanent Links: Active without limits.
- Temporary Links: Valid for a set time period.
- Links with Usage Limits: Allow a specific number of uses.
To set a time limit, choose “Expiration” while creating the link. To limit the number of uses, input the desired number in the corresponding field.
