Create Telegram Link
What is a Telegram Start Link?
A t.me link capable of passing hidden data payloads.
When a user clicks a `t.me/username?start=payload` link, the Telegram app opens and prompts them to press 'Start'. Instantly, your bot receives the `payload` securely, allowing it to adapt its welcome message dynamically.
