Welcome

Make sure that your welcome module is enabled before configuring the welcome module (!module welcome to enable, and !module list to see if it's enabled).

Setting Up Welcome Module

The command used for setting up the welcome module is welcome, which has a set of other subcommands that allows you to edit the module's current settings without the need to remember several commands.

The list below details the minimum needed permissions in order for the welcome module to function:

  • View Channels
  • Send Messages
  • Embed Links

Welcome/Leave

Configuring the welcome module is done with this command. This will allow for posting welcome and/or leave messages for people and utilize rich embeds and direct messages to best fit your needs. Multiple welcome messages are made possible with the !welcome add [name] feature.

There are many subcommands to the welcome module, each with their own unique purpose. This section will have a lot of information to process, so please re-read this as many times as it takes in order to set your welcome to the best fit for your community. Instead of the conventional format as seen in the previous pages, this section will have a specialized list for the subcommands and what to understand about each of them.

Welcomes will not be posted for users blocked by BlankAvatar and JoinAge.

Both !welcome and !leave have the same subcommands and will be sharing the same table.

!setwelcome, !setchannel, !settype, !setdelete, !setleave, are no longer the commands for setting up the welcome module; it has changed to !welcome and !leave. !welcome and !leave cannot be ran by on their own to start the setup process. A subcommand must be used to with the command in order to change the module's properties.

Required Permissions (Staff)
