Welcome Messages
Designer welcome and leave cards with six color themes, three layouts, three avatar shapes and custom backgrounds — plus an embed-only mode if you'd rather skip images entirely. Requires Manage Server permission to configure.
Fastest way to set it up
.welcome wizard
Walks you through picking a channel, a design, and a theme in one guided flow — the quickest path to a working setup.
Basic setup
Bare welcome or welcome help prints the complete command list below, straight from Discord — worth bookmarking mentally since there are a lot of settings here.
Sets where new-member welcome cards post, and turns the system on.
Sets a separate channel for leave messages (optional).
Toggle the whole system without losing your configuration.
Preview a card right now, exactly as members will see it.
Card design
| Setting | Command | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | welcome design | Cinematic (default), Minimal, Banner |
| Color theme | welcome theme | Dark Obsidian, Neon Cyber, Aurora, Gold Luxury, Crimson Edge, Void Minimal |
| Font | welcome font | Default, Roboto, Mono, Serif, Impact |
| Avatar shape | welcome shape | Circle, Square, Hexagon |
| Card size | welcome size | Wide (1200×400), Standard (900×300), Square (500×500) |
| Background | welcome bg <image url> | Any direct image link, or welcome bgs for a preset pool |
Each of these opens an interactive picker when run without arguments — you don't need to memorize option names.
Embed mode
Prefer a plain text embed instead of a rendered image card:
welcome embed on
welcome embed style builder
embed style classic uses a simple built-in layout; embed style builder hands the message off to the Embed Builder for full custom control.
Extra behavior
DM new members
Sends a copy on join, separate from the in-server card. dm card on makes that DM include the image card too.
Ping the user
Mentions the new member alongside their card.
Use a thread
Posts welcome cards into a thread instead of the main channel.
Invite tracking
Shows which invite link — and who it belongs to — brought the new member in.
Auto-role
Automatically assigns one or more roles to every new member.
Current config
Prints your server's full welcome configuration in one message.
