Welcome & Leave
Greet new members in a channel, by DM, or both, with text, an embed or a custom welcome image with their avatar and name. Leave and ban messages live on the same page, each with its own switch.
Set it up
Open the dashboard and pick your server. Sign in with Discord if you haven’t.
Find Welcome & Leave in the sidebar (or press ⌘K and type its name) and turn it on.
Go through the settings below. Simple mode shows the essentials; switch to Advanced for the rest.
Changes apply in your server within a few seconds of saving.
Tips
- Use `{user}` to mention the new member and `{membercount.ordinal}` for “the 1,204th member”.
- Dyno splits these into Welcome and Announcements. In Kovu the Welcome, Leave and Bans tabs share one page and one save button.
Settings
What you’ll find on the Welcome & Leave page of the dashboard. Settings marked Advanced only show in Advanced mode.
