Telegram bot, sending message on start\open of app in python

Question

I have a Python script that works great with 'telegram bot'. I want to send the user a welcome message on start of the app. Hopefuly someone here can direct me how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

I have tried using the send_text function in several places on the script with no luck.

Answer 1

This is not possible, as the Bot API does not send an update when the user opens the app.
