Welcome messages & images

Greet new members with a message and an image you design — plus auto-roles.

The welcome message

  1. Dashboard → Welcome.
  2. Turn it on and choose the channel (or send it in DM).
  3. Write the message. Click the variable chips to insert them.
  4. Watch the live preview, then Save. Test it with /greet send user:@you.

Variables: {user} mentions the new member, {userName} their name without a mention, {memberCount}, {server}, {inviter} mentions who invited them, {inviterName} the inviter’s name, and {invites} how many people that inviter has brought.

The welcome image

Upload a background, then drag the avatar and the text where you want them and resize them. The preview is exactly what members get.

Auto-roles and returning members

/roles autoroles roles:@Member gives roles to everyone who joins. With Persist roles on (/panel → Roles), members who leave and come back get their old roles again — so leaving can’t be used to escape a mute or jail.
