The bot allows users to request personalized referral links. When a user joins the group using the generated link, the administrator receives a private message with the information: "username1 joined, invited by username2" (where username1 is the username of the newly joined user, and username2 is the username of the link creator).
Install the required Python package using pip:
pip install python-telegram-botStart the script:

It could integrate a database to keep track of all the links and the number of people invited by every member.
