'Aufgenommen' is the past participle of the separable verb 'aufnehmen' (to take in / record). The different meanings as an adjective are directly derived from the meanings of the verb, e.g., to take someone into a group or to record a sound.
Der Verein hat zehn neue Mitglieder aufgenommen.
The club accepted ten new members.
The context shows which meaning is intended. If it is about feelings and groups, it means 'akzeptiert' (accepted). In connection with media such as film or music, it means 'aufgezeichnet' (recorded). In biological contexts, it means 'absorbiert' (absorbed).
Die aufgenommene Rede des Präsidenten wurde im Fernsehen gezeigt.
The recorded speech by the president was shown on television.
In the meaning 'akzeptiert sein' (to be accepted), 'aufgenommen' is very often combined with the verb 'sich fühlen' (to feel). An adverb such as 'gut' (well), 'herzlich' (warmly), or 'freundlich' (kindly) describes the nature of the reception.
Ich habe mich in der neuen Firma sofort herzlich aufgenommen gefühlt.
I immediately felt warmly accepted at the new company.
integrated
„aufgenommen“ emphasizes that a group accepts and welcomes a person. „integriert“ more strongly describes someone who already belongs to the group on a lasting basis and takes part in its life. „aufgenommen“ is therefore often a good fit at the beginning, while „integriert“ is more appropriate after a longer period of integration.
An ihrem ersten Abend im Verein fühlt sich Lea freundlich aufgenommen.
On her first evening in the club, Lea feels warmly welcomed.
Nach einem Jahr im Verein fühlt sich Lea vollständig integriert.
