Learn how subscribers can request a new join link if their link expires, and how project owners can generate and deliver a new invite link directly.

Why Links Expire

To prevent unauthorized link sharing, all dynamically generated invite links are configured to expire after 1 hour and are restricted to a single use. If a subscriber does not join within this 1-hour window, the link becomes deactivated.

How to Refresh an Expired Link

For security, subscribers cannot generate new invite links themselves once a link has expired. Instead, they must reach out to the group owner directly to request a new link. The group owner can then manually generate a new invite link and deliver it directly to the member through the bot.

Owner Link Generation & Direct Delivery

Group owners can generate and send a new link to any member at any time from the bot console:

  1. Open the owner console for your project and select 🔍 Check Member.
  2. Type the Telegram username (with or without the @ symbol) of the member you wish to check.
  3. On the member status screen, click the đŸŽĢ Generate New Link button.
ℹī¸
Active Subscriber Flow: If the subscriber has an active subscription, clicking the button instantly generates a fresh, single-use invite link and sends it directly to their private Telegram chat.

Inactive Member Warning Confirmation

If you generate a new link for a subscriber whose subscription is currently inactive or expired, PayPass will display a warning screen:

  • The warning explains that since their subscription is inactive, the eviction daemon will not manage their access (i.e. they will not be automatically kicked if they join).
  • You will be prompted to confirm by clicking ✅ Yes, Proceed & Send Link or return to the dashboard by clicking âŦ…ī¸ Go Back.

Handling Delivery Failures (Blocked Bot)

If the member has blocked the bot or disabled private messages, direct delivery will fail. In this scenario, the bot will display a ⚠ī¸ Delivery Failed (User Blocked Bot) banner and output a copyable invite link on your owner screen. You can copy this link and send it to the subscriber manually.
