What Welcomer does

Welcomer sends a message in a channel when a new member joins your server.
You can control:
  • Which channel receives the message
  • What content is sent
  • When the message is sent
  • How long the message stays before being deleted
  • Whether the welcomer is enabled
  • What webhook name is used

​
Step 1: Add a welcome channel

The main setup command is /welcomer add.
This command supports multiple parameters, allowing you to configure everything at once. 
/welcomer add [channel] [content_name] [delay] [delete_after] [enable] [webhook_name]

​
Parameters explained

  • channel — optional The channel that will receive welcome messages If omitted, the current channel is used
  • content_name — optional The custom content used for the welcome message You can change this later using /welcomer set
  • delay — optional How long to wait before sending the welcome message Examples: 5s, 30s, 1m
  • delete_after — optional How long before the welcome message is automatically deleted Examples: 30s, 5m, 1h Set to 0s to disable auto-deletion
  • enable — optional (default: true) Whether the welcomer should be enabled immediately
  • webhook_name — optional The name of the webhook used to send welcome messages Defaults to baobun | welcomer

​
Step 2: Update content (optional)

If you didn’t assign content during setup, or want to change it later: 
/welcomer set <content_name> [channel]
  • This updates the content without re-adding the channel

​
Step 3: Adjust timing (optional)

You can change the delay at any time. 
/welcomer delay <delay> [channel]
  • Useful if you want to fine-tune when the message appears

​
Step 4: Control message deletion (optional)

Change or disable auto-deletion for welcome messages. 
/welcomer delete-after <time> [channel]
  • Keeps welcome channels clean
  • Set to 0s to keep messages permanently

​
Step 5: Enable or disable Welcomer

Toggle the welcomer on or off for a channel. 
/welcomer enable [channel]
  • Useful for temporarily disabling welcomes without removing configuration

​
Step 6: Test your setup

Always test before going live. 
/welcomer test
  • Sends a test welcome message using the current configuration

​
Example full setup (one command)

Here’s an example of configuring everything at once: 
/welcomer add #welcome default-welcome 5s 1m true "Welcome Bot"
This setup:
  • Sends messages in #welcome
  • Uses default-welcome content
  • Delays messages by 5 seconds
  • Enables Welcomer immediately
  • Uses a custom webhook name
  • Deletes messages after 1 minute

​
Tips and best practices

  • Use variables like [user.mentions] and [server.name] in your content
  • Set delete_after for busy servers
  • Use webhooks to make messages look cleaner
  • Test after every change

​
Troubleshooting

If welcome messages are not sending:
  • Make sure the bot has permission to manage webhooks
  • Confirm the channel is enabled
  • Verify content exists
  • Check delay and delete timers
  • Run /welcomer test
