Updated October 2, 2026

Welcome message

Run /welcome set and pick a channel. Add your own message if you like.
Use placeholders: {mention}, {user}, {name}, {server} and {count} (the member count). \n starts a new line.
Turn the generated welcome card on or off with /welcome image.
Check it with /welcome test.

DMs and goodbyes

/welcome dm sends new members a private message. /welcome goodbye posts when someone leaves.

Auto-roles

/role autorole gives a role to every new member. Using verification? Let that give the role instead. Verification guide.
