Template Variables​

Use these placeholders in any message field — they are replaced automatically:

VariableReplaced With
{user}A mention of the member (@Username)
{username}The member's display name (no mention)
{server}The server name
{memberCount}Current total member count
{userId}The member's Discord user ID

Example welcome message:

Welcome to {server}, {user}! 🎉 You are member #{memberCount}.
Head over to #rules to get started.

Auto-Role​

In Settings, set an Auto-Role to automatically assign a role to every new member on join. This is processed before the welcome message is sent.
