Welcome Messages

Send a configurable welcome message when someone joins your server. You can post it in a selected channel or send it as a direct message to the new member.

Setup

  1. Use /settings welcome-channel set to choose a public channel. Use /settings welcome-channel direct-message to send it privately instead.
  2. Use /settings welcome-message set to write the message and review its preview before saving.

Set the message again with an empty value to disable welcome messages. Use /settings welcome-channel view and /settings welcome-message view to check the current setup.

Placeholders

Welcome messages support these placeholders:

Placeholder Replaced with
{serverName} The Discord server's name
{userName} The new member's display name
{userMention} A mention of the new member
{botName} NabBot's display name
{botMention} A mention of NabBot

Use /settings welcome-message keys to view these in Discord. Messages can contain up to 1,000 characters.

Tip

Use a channel visible to new members, or choose direct messages if you do not want welcome messages in public. Members who block server direct messages will not receive a private welcome.
