Welcomer ​

Welcomer sends a message when a new member joins your server.

Use it to greet members, explain next steps, link rules, or point them to verification.

What Welcomer can include ​

Depending on your version, Welcomer may support:

  • Welcome channel
  • Plain text message
  • Embed message
  • Member mentions
  • Server name variables
  • First-time join behavior
  • Custom styling through Embed Builder-style controls

Configure Welcomer ​

  1. Open https://lockieapp.ca
  2. Select your server.
  3. Open the Welcomer plugin.
  4. Choose the welcome channel.
  5. Write the message or embed.
  6. Save changes.
  7. Test with a safe join event or preview if available.

Message ideas ​

A good welcome message should tell members what to do next.

Examples:

  • Read the rules.
  • Verify in a specific channel.
  • Pick roles.
  • Open a ticket for help.
  • Check announcements.

Permissions ​

Lockie needs:

  • View Channel
  • Send Messages
  • Embed Links, if using embeds

Best practices ​

  • Keep the welcome message short.
  • Link only the most important channels.
  • Avoid tagging too many roles.
  • Use an embed if you need structure.
  • Update the message when your server onboarding changes.

Troubleshooting ​

If the welcome message does not send:

  • Confirm Welcomer is enabled.
  • Confirm the channel is selected.
  • Confirm Lockie can View Channel and Send Messages.
  • Confirm Lockie has Embed Links if the message is an embed.
  • Check whether the join happened before the setting was saved.
