Welcome messages

Welcome messages greet new members in a server channel, by private message, or with generated images.

Create a welcomer

1. Open Administration > Welcomer.
2. Start the welcomer setup if the server does not have one yet.
3. Select the channel for the public server message.
4. Choose one or more saved images if you want April to attach a welcome design.
5. Customize the message content and embeds.
6. Save the setup.
7. Run /welcome test in Discord to verify the result.

Configure messages

The welcomer has separate sections for:

• Guild message: sends in the selected server channel.
• Private message: sends a DM to the joining member.
• Image: attaches one of your saved designs.
• Random: randomly selects one message from the configured list.
• Force attachment: sends the generated image as a Discord attachment instead of inside the embed.

Private messages can fail when a member blocks server DMs. Keep the public guild message enabled when the welcome flow is important.

Images

Create reusable designs from Images or Projects, then select them in the welcomer form. If you select multiple designs, April can rotate between them.

Variables

Use the variable controls shown by the message editor. Welcome messages commonly use {user}, {user.mention}, {guild}, {memberCount}, and {memberCount.ordinal}. See Formatting variables for the full reference.

Troubleshooting

• If nothing sends, check that the guild message is enabled and has a text channel selected.
• If the image is missing, make sure image sending is enabled and at least one design is selected.
• If mentions do not render as expected, insert them from the message editor picker.
