  • On the dashboard or in Discord
  • 6 steps

Before you start

  • Manage Server
  • A channel Element can post in

Turn it on and pick a channel

Open Welcome for your server. Turn on Welcome messages and pick the channel. Channels Element can't post in are greyed out.

Welcome messages

Turn this on to post a welcome whenever someone joins.

Greyed-out channels are ones Element can't post in.

#welcome

Open the welcome menu

Run /welcome settings and pick Welcome Settings in the menu. Click Main System to turn it on and choose the channel.

The menu's other pages cover the embed and the image, and Preview shows the result. There's also an Open in dashboard button.

Write the message

Write what Element says, up to 2,000 characters. Placeholders fill in for each new member:

  • {user(mention)} mentions them, and {user(name)} is their username.
  • {guild(name)} is your server's name, and {guild(member_count)} its member count.
  • {guild(join_position)} is their place, like 1,024th, and {guild(joined_today)} how many joined today.

Welcome @Gold to Rayyan's Lounge! You're our 1,284th member. Grab roles in #roles.

Add an embed

Turn on the embed for a card under the message, with a colour, title, description, author, footer and the new member's avatar in the corner. The placeholders work in the title and description too.

On the dashboard, the preview beside the form updates as you type.

Add a welcome image

Turn on the welcome image for a banner with the new member's avatar and name. Pick a theme and its accent colour, and the fields it shows, like the member number. It can go inside the embed instead of under it.

The dashboard preview shows the real image Element will send.

Add a greet button

Turn on the greet button. Other members press it to welcome the newcomer, and Element posts their greeting. Each member can press it once, and it greys out after 1 to 10 minutes (5 by default).

You can change its label, emoji and colour.

Save and test

On the dashboard, click Save changes in the bar at the bottom. With commands, each change saves as you make it.

The easiest test is a friend joining, or an alt account. Use the preview first to check how it looks.
