Welcome messages (the "Welcome" module)
It runs when a member joins the server. Configure it in /dashboard → Welcome module.
Channel and enabling
- Enable the module with the main switch.
- Welcome channel where each new member will be announced.
Message type
Three modes, chosen with the "Type" selector:
- Plain message — plain text only.
- Embed — an embed with title, description, colour, thumbnail and footer.
- Generated image — a welcome card with the user's avatar and text over a template or custom background.
Variables available in the text
Both the plain message and the embed accept variables. The most common ones:
{user}/{username}— the user's name.{mention}— the new member's mention (@).{displayName}— nickname or display name.{id}— the user's ID.{tag}— full name.{created}/{createdDate}— when the account was created (relative / date).{joined}— when they joined the server.{avatar}— avatar URL.{server}— server name.{serverId}— its ID.{memberCount}— member count after they joined.{boostCount}/{boostLevel}— the server's boosts and level.
Dates ({created}, {joined}…) are shown as Discord timestamps, which every user sees in their own language and time zone. The dashboard editor lists every variable with a live preview that substitutes them as you type. These same variables also work in goodbye messages, boost messages and levels.
Generated image
- Template: pick one of the presets or upload your own background.
- Text: the message that appears over the image, also with variables.
Auto roles on join
- Enable Auto roles and pick one or more roles to be assigned to every new member.
- Set an optional delay if you want them applied a few seconds later (useful when you combine this with verification).
Goodbye messages (the "Goodbye" module)
It runs when a member leaves the server (including bans and kicks). Configure it in /dashboard → Goodbye module.
Channel and enabling
- Enable the module.
- Goodbye channel (it can be the same as the welcome one, or a different one).
Message type
The same two main options:
- Plain message.
- Embed with title, description, colour, thumbnail and footer.
(The goodbye module doesn't generate an automatic image; if you want a visual card, use the embed with the user's avatar as the thumbnail.)
Available variables
The same as in welcome messages: {user}, {username}, {mention},
{displayName}, {id}, {tag}, {created},
{createdDate}, {joined}, {avatar}, {server},
{serverId}, {boostCount}… and {memberCount} (members after they left).
Auto-deleting the message
- Auto-delete the message after X seconds. Useful if you'd rather not leave a permanent trace every time someone leaves.
Permissions Roody needs
In the welcome/goodbye channel:
- View Channel
- Send Messages
- Embed Links
- Attach Files (for generated images)
- Manage Messages (if you enable auto-delete on goodbyes)
- Manage Roles (if you enable auto roles on welcomes)
Practical tips
- For very active servers, consider auto-delete on goodbyes to avoid flooding the channel.
- Auto roles work really well combined with verification: apply the role after a delay, or once the member has passed the verification module.
- Keep the messages short: newcomers don't read walls of text. Say hello, link the rules and the introductions channel.
- If you lean heavily on colour and branding, upload your own image template instead of the presets.
