How to Gate Your Community Channel
Gating your Telegram channel means only people with a verified TradeClick broker account can join. This turns your community into a verified network of real traders.
Enable "Approve new members" on Telegram
In Telegram: open your channel → Manage Channel → Subscribers → Enable Approve new members. This sends join requests to the bot instead of allowing anyone in.
Add verification instructions to your channel description
Since declined users may not receive a bot message, put instructions in your channel description:
Turn on the gate in Creator Studio
Go to Creator Studio → Community tab → Channel Settings → toggle 🔒 Verified members only on → Save.
Open Channel Settings →How it works
When someone requests to join your channel:
✅ Has TradeClick account + broker connected + Telegram linked → Auto-approved
❌ No broker account → Declined with instructions to connect one
❌ Not linked to TradeClick → Declined with full signup instructions
