Welcome
LiveJoin and leave messages, automatic roles.
The messages
The join message goes to the chosen channel, as an embed or plain text, and can also be sent by direct message. The leave message stays plain text: there is nobody left to welcome.
| Variable | Replaced with |
|---|---|
{user} | The member’s clickable mention |
{username} | Their name alone, usable in a title |
{server} | The server name |
{memberCount} | The member count after they joined |
Rendering is a simple string replacement, not a template engine. An engine would allow loops and conditions in text typed from a dashboard — an attack surface for nothing.
Automatic roles
Up to ten roles can be given on join. Discord forbids assigning a role placed above the bot’s: Axaro filters upstream rather than letting the call fail, otherwise a single out-of-reach role would lose the nine others.
With the membership screening on, the roles wait until the person accepts the rules. Without that wait, the role would bypass the screen — which is exactly what it guards against.
