How to set up welcome messages on Discord

Pick a channel, write a line, and every new member gets a proper hello.

Turn it on for your server

  1. Open the portal
    Go to mimbos.com and log in with Discord. Pick the server you want to set up. You need to be an admin or the owner.
  2. Find the Welcome & Goodbye card
    On the module dashboard every bot has its own card. Modules you have not activated yet show a Configure button that starts setup.
  3. Invite the bot and switch it on
    The setup flow invites the right bot with one click and flips the module on. Each module is its own bot, so your slash menu only contains what you actually use.

After activating

Open the module from its card or from the sidebar rail on any portal page. Settings save to the cloud and the bot picks them up within seconds. No restarts and no config files.

Tip. If something seems off later, re-run the Configure flow. It re-checks the bot's permissions and presence in your server.

Pick the channels and test

  1. Welcome channel
    Choose where welcomes are posted, usually a dedicated #welcome channel.
  2. Goodbye channel
    Optionally pick a channel and message for when members leave.
  3. Test it
    Run /test in Discord to send a preview welcome or farewell without waiting for a real join. You can even test as a specific user.
