How to set up goodbye and leave messages on Discord

Goodbye messages post a short farewell whenever a member leaves your server. They are a nice touch and help moderators notice churn. Here is how to set them up for free with mimBo's.

Set up goodbye messages

Open the Welcome & Goodbye builder and log in with Discord.
Select your server, then switch to the Goodbye Messages tab.
Turn on Enable goodbye messages and choose the channel for farewells.
Pick plain text or a rich embed, then write your farewell.
Preview it live and click Save changes.

Placeholders you can use

{{username}} shows the name of the member who left.
{{server}} is your server name.
{{memberCount}} shows the remaining member count.

Example: {{username}} just left {{server}}. We are now {{memberCount}} members.

Should you ping on goodbye?

Usually not. For farewells, use {{username}} rather than {{user}} so you do not ping someone who has already left. Keep goodbye messages calm and short.

Open the free Welcome & Goodbye tool and set it up in minutes. No coding required.
