Welcome image cards
A 1024×360 card rendered for every join: the member’s avatar in a gradient ring, their name and @handle, your server name and a line like “Member #1,284”.
Discord welcome bot with welcome images and goodbye messages
First impressions happen in the first ten seconds. BotGG Welcome messages greet every new member in the channel you choose, with your own text and an image card showing their avatar, name and member number — and can say goodbye, send a DM and wait until new members pass verification.
welcomeDiscord preview
Welcome to Nightfall, @Mira! 👋 Grab your roles in #pick-your-roles and say hi in #general.
👋 Alex has left Nightfall. We are now 1,283.
What you get
Three card styles
Neon, glass or minimal, with your accent and background colors or your own background image. Title and subtitle are yours to write.
Your own greeting
Write the message with placeholders — {user} pings the new member, plus {username}, {displayName}, {server} and {count}. Leave it empty for a ready-made greeting in your server’s language.
Goodbye messages
Post a goodbye when someone leaves, in the welcome channel or a separate one, with its own text and optional card. Nobody gets pinged.
Welcome DM
Send new members a private message with the essentials: where the rules are, how to pick roles, where to say hi. Closed DMs are skipped quietly.
Waits for verification
With Verification on, the greeting can wait until the member passes — so bots that never verify never get a welcome.
How it works
Choose the welcome channel
Open Welcome messages in the web console, enable the feature and pick the channel for greetings.
Write your greeting
Type your message and click the variable chips to insert the member’s mention, name, server name or member count.
Design the card
Turn on the image card, pick a style, colors or a background image and set the title and subtitle. The preview updates as you type.
Add goodbye and DM
Optionally enable goodbye messages, a welcome DM, waiting for verification and ignoring bots. Save, and the next join is greeted.
A welcome image that looks like your server
Plain text greetings get lost in chat; a welcome image makes each join feel like an event. BotGG draws the card on its own servers for every new member: rounded background from your colors or image, glows, the avatar with a gradient ring, a bold title and the member’s name, which shrinks to fit long names. Hebrew, Russian and emoji names render correctly, right-to-left included.
If an avatar or background image can’t load, the card falls back gracefully, and if the image can’t be rendered at all, the text greeting is still sent — new members never go unwelcomed.
Build a first-day flow for new members
Welcome messages work best together with the rest of your onboarding:
- Verification keeps bots out; the greeting waits until a member passes.
- Role menus let new members pick games, regions and pings right after the welcome.
- Logs show staff each join with account age and the invite that was used.
Slash commands
No slash commands — everything is configured in the web console and runs automatically.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set up a welcome message on Discord?
Invite BotGG, open Welcome messages in the web console, enable it and pick a channel. That’s enough for a default greeting in your server’s language; customize the text and card whenever you like.
Can the bot make a welcome image with the member’s avatar?
Yes. Turn on the image card and every greeting includes a generated image with the member’s avatar, name, @handle and member number, in the neon, glass or minimal style.
Can I use my own background image?
Yes. Paste a link to an image and it becomes the card background, darkened slightly so the text stays readable. Without one, the card uses your background and accent colors.
How do I send a welcome DM to new members?
Enable the welcome DM and write the message with the same placeholders. Members who have DMs from servers turned off simply won’t receive it.
Does the welcome bot greet other bots?
By default bots are greeted too; turn on “ignore bots” to skip them. If you use Verification, you can also greet members only after they pass.
