Welcome & goodbye messages
Greet new members, add a private DM, and say goodbye, with a live preview.
The welcome plugin posts a message when someone joins, can send them a private message, and can post a goodbye when they leave. The dashboard shows a live Discord preview as you type. Works today
Set it up
- Open dashboard → your server → Welcome & Goodbye.
- Switch on Welcome new members.
- Choose the channel where greetings should appear.
- Edit the message. Click a variable chip to insert it. The preview updates instantly.
- Press Save changes.
Use the embed sections to set a title, color, author, author icon, title link, thumbnail, large picture, footer, timestamp and extra fields. Paste direct HTTPS image links, including Discord attachment links, into picture fields. The channel greeting, private DM and goodbye message each have their own embed settings.
Variables that work
These are replaced with real values for each new member:
| Type | Becomes | Example |
|---|---|---|
{user} | Mentions the new member | @Riley |
{username}, {nickname} | Username or server nickname | riley |
{user.avatar} | Avatar image link | Image URL |
{server.icon} | Server icon image link | Image URL |
{server}, {serverName} | Your server name | Pixel Pals |
{memberCount} | Members so far | 1,204 |
Many more are planned (see the variables reference). Check the supported contexts in the variables reference before using additional variables. Anything else would appear as plain text.
Welcome DM
Turn on Also send a private message to DM each newcomer. Members can block DMs from servers, so the channel message is always sent too.
Goodbye messages
Switch on Say goodbye, pick a channel, and write a message. The goodbye has its own switch, channel and embed, so it can go somewhere other than the welcome. Goodbyes use the same variables.
Give roles on join
Join roles have their own page, Join roles, where each role can wait up to 24 hours before it is given. See Auto roles.
Name the rules channel, say what the server is about, and tell people what to do first. Two short sentences beat a long paragraph.
