Why this helps
Welcoming someone often creates small follow-ups that are easy to forget while attention shifts back to the work.
- Attach a practical location resource to a joining event.
- Reduce repeated manual welcome research.
- Give a group a consistent starting point for nearby services.

- 5Test with a real join event in a group the bot belongs to.
