Welcome Messages

Enabling welcome messages

/welcome enable

This creates 7 default welcome message templates. The bot randomly picks one for each new member. All /welcome commands require Manage Server permission.

Default templates

The 7 defaults:

• “Hey {user}, welcome to {server}! Glad you’re here.”
• “Welcome, {user}! You’re member #{count} - great to have you.”
• “Hey {user}! Hope you enjoy your time in {server}.”
• “Welcome aboard, {user}! Feel free to introduce yourself.”
• “Great to see you, {user}! Welcome to {server}.”
• “{user} just joined. Everyone say hi!”
• “Welcome to {server}, {user}! We’re happy you found us.”

Template variables

Variable	Replaced with
{user}	The new member’s mention (e.g., @username)
{server}	Your server’s name
{count}	Current member count

Configuring delivery

/welcome config opens a modal where you set:

• Channel - where welcome messages appear
• Delivery mode - channel (public message), dm (direct message), or both
• Membership Screening - if enabled, the bot waits until the member completes Discord’s membership screening before sending the welcome. Turn this on if your server uses the Rules Screening feature.
• Leveling intro - whether to include a brief note about the leveling system in the welcome

Adding custom messages

/welcome add opens a modal where you type your custom message. Use the template variables listed above. The new message joins the rotation pool.

Removing messages

1. Run /welcome list to see all messages with their IDs.
2. Run /welcome remove message_id:<id> to remove one.

Restoring defaults

/welcome defaults restore re-adds the 7 default templates if you’ve removed them.

Featured channels

Highlight channels new members should know about:

• /welcome suggest add #introductions description:"Introduce yourself here"
• /welcome suggest remove #introductions
• /welcome suggest list

Featured channels appear in the welcome embed as suggestions for where to start.

Customizing appearance

/welcome customize opens a modal for:

• Embed color
• Footer text

Previewing

/welcome preview shows exactly what a new member would see, without actually sending it to your channel.

Queue diagnostics

/welcome queue shows the current state of the welcome delivery pipeline. Use this if messages aren’t being sent and you need to diagnose why.
