What is the 'Start Parameter' for bots?

It is a hidden piece of data passed to your bot when a user first clicks 'Start'. It's commonly used for referral tracking or opening a specific bot feature.

Can I use this for private groups?

No. Private groups use a specific 'joinchat' invite link generated within the Telegram app. This tool is for public handles and usernames.

Is my handle case-sensitive in the link?

No. Telegram handles are generally case-insensitive, but it's best practice to match the casing you used when creating the account.

How do I get a username for my profile?

Go to Telegram Settings > Edit Profile > Username. Once you set a username, anyone can find you via the t.me link.

Will these links work in any browser?

Yes. Every modern browser recognizes the t.me domain and will correctly attempt to hand over the request to the Telegram application.

Can I generate a QR code for these links?

Our generator provides the link text. You can then use a QR code generator (like the one also available in our Arsenal) to create a scannable version.

Telegram Link Generator

Telegram Link Generator Overview

Create custom links for Telegram users, bots, and channels

The Telegram Link Generator is a precise utility for creating 't.me' deep links that connect users directly to your profile, a specific bot, or a public channel. Telegram's ecosystem is vast, and providing a clean, clickable link is the most efficient way to grow your community or provide support. Our generator supports three distinct modes: User, Bot, and Channel. For users and channels, it creates a direct path to the handle. For bots, it adds the powerful 'start' parameter capability. This allow developers and marketers to create deep-links that pass a specific variable to the bot upon the user clicking 'Start' (e.g., a referral code or a specific command). The tool features a tactical UI where you can toggle between modes easily. It automatically cleans handles (removing the '@' prefix if you type it in) and ensures the resulting URL is correctly formatted for the Telegram application handler. These links are intelligently handled by all operating systems—they will launch the native Telegram application on mobile (iOS/Android) or desktop (Windows/macOS/Linux), and fallback to the Telegram Web version if no app is detected. By using our generator, you ensure your community links are professional, accurate, and functional across the entire digital landscape.
