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.
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.
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.

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.
