Welcome Messages

Help new users find their way around your community with custom welcome messages!

SajuukBot will be ceasing operations on March 31st 2024, due to a variety of factors. For more information, please refer to the announcement provided on the SajuukBot discord server and your options for migrating to a new bot.

For most communities using SajuukBot, Discord's own system messages will suffice as a way to "welcome" new users to your community. For smaller servers looking to promote community wellbeing, SajuukBot can post a welcome message that points people to all the places they need to find out more about your server and to say "hi".

Caveats:

  • This functionality is passive. The only thing you need to do is include the provided configuration and tweak it as needed. There are no commands involved.

  • Be aware that the "message" argument is limited to a maximum of 1950 characters, and any mentions of channels should use the "escaped" format (ie <#channel_id_here>)

  • Welcome Messages will not be sent immediately after a member joins a server that is using Membership Screening. For these servers, they will be sent after a member has completed the required verifications.

Configuration

This section of configuration is a root key, which means it should not be indented and in line with the basic settings like levels, prefix and the like. Please see the full basic configuration for more details on how it should be formatted.

welcome messages:
  enabled: false
  channel: 0
  message: ":wave: Hey {member}, welcome to the **{guild}**! Please refer to the server rules channel before posting!
  :wave:"
