Welcome messages
What happens when someone joins, leaves, or boosts.
#Joins
A welcome message can go to a channel, to the member's DMs, or both. The wording is a
template, so it takes the same ${variables} as everything else, such as ${usermention},
${servername} and ${membercount}.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Channel | Where the public welcome goes |
| Direct message | A private welcome, which survives them missing the channel |
| Delete after | Remove the welcome after a number of seconds |
Deleting after a minute keeps a busy server's general channel from becoming a wall of welcomes.
#Leaves
The same idea in reverse, to a channel of your choice. Most servers point leaves at a staff channel rather than the one members read.
#Boosts
A separate message for when someone boosts the server, with its own channel and wording.
#Join roles
Roles handed out on join. See Join & reaction roles.
Write the welcome so it points somewhere. "Welcome!" is wasted; "Welcome, rules are in #rules and roles are in #roles" saves a question.
