Why use welcome messages?

Welcome messages help create a friendly atmosphere in your server by automatically greeting new members. You can customize these messages to match your server’s style and include useful information for newcomers.

​
How do welcome messages work?

When a new member joins your server, the bot will send a customized message in the configured channel. These messages can be either simple text or rich embeds, and can include variables like the user’s name, server information, and more.

​
Configuring welcome messages

The following commands require the Manage Server permission.

​
