Welcome & Goodbye

First impressions are everything on Discord. A well-designed Welcome Message can make a new user feel at home, while a professional Goodbye Message helps you stay informed of your community’s churn.

Generic “Welcome @user!” messages are boring. Zero Degree lets you build interactive, branded entries that can include:

  • Server Rules & Info: Direct new members to your most important channels.
  • Dynamic Variable Parsing: Address users by name, mention your server, and show the current member count.
  • Auto-Role Assignment: Automatically give new members a specific role when they join.

The /welcome command opens a sophisticated control panel. From here, you can manage every part of the experience using simple buttons:

  • Welcome Channel: Set where the join message is sent.
  • Auto-Role: Define a role (e.g., Member) that ZeD will grant instantly upon join.
  • Text Message: A simple, powerful text editor for standard messages.
  • Embed Message: Open a specialized modal to build a full, high-definition embed (see below).

When you choose “Embed Message” in the /welcome menu, you gain access to:

  • Custom Graphics: Set a unique thumbnail (like the user’s avatar) or a large hero image.
  • Branded Colors: Match your server’s aesthetic with specific hex codes.
  • Footer Info: Add additional server links or timestamps.

Zero Degree supports dynamic variables to keep your messages fresh and personalized. Use these anywhere in your welcome text or embed:

  • {user}: Mentions the new member.
  • {guild}: Displays your server’s name.
  • {memberCount}: Shows the total number of members after they join.

[!TIP] Pro-Tip: DM Welcomes. Sometimes a public message isn’t enough. You can also toggle DM Welcomes in the settings menu, sending a private “Welcome Package” directly to the user’s inbox with your server’s key information.
