Answer 1

You can use the Deep Linking feature which allows you to add a custom parameter for your convenience

The user will be sent to the Bot and, after clicking on Start, the value ref01 is passed to the start command handler.

Answer 2

Try to use some redirect method in your webserver code.

1. Generate the referral link and save in some storage
2. When user open the link, after check method redirect to bot
