Welcome messages that make people want to stay
A message, an embed or a generated image with the newcomer's avatar, a word for those who leave and roles given automatically: your server's first impression is polished.
Welcome
Welcome Léa! 👋
Welcome and goodbye, each its own way
Turn the join message and the leave message on separately, choose their channel and their format: plain message, embed with its colour and image, or generated image. Your texts use the {user}, {username}, {server} and {memberCount} variables to mention the member and show the member count.
What happens when someone joins
The dashboard shows you the order of events when a member joins. If the captcha is on, the member verifies first; they then get their automatic roles, and HurixBot posts your welcome message in the chosen channel. You know exactly what a newcomer sees.
A welcome message that lands
- mention the member with
{user}so they get a notification; - point them somewhere: the rules channel, the roles channel or the introductions channel;
- show the member count with
{memberCount}to celebrate every arrival; - keep it short: two or three lines get read, a wall of text gets skimmed.
For example: "Welcome {user} to {server}! You're member number {memberCount}: head over to the roles channel to pick your notifications."
A welcome image in your style
The dashboard's image editor lets you design a unique card, drag every element into place and save it in one click:
- background in PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF, up to 10 MB;
- text layers with nine fonts (Roboto, Poppins, Bebas Neue, Pacifico…), size, bold, italic, colour and outline;
- the member's avatar, round or square, with a border;
- up to 40 layers, and a different image for joins and leaves.
The image is generated on every join with the member's name and avatar: every newcomer gets their own card, without you lifting a finger.
And when a member leaves
The leave message is set up like the join message, with its own channel, format and image. It shows as soon as a member leaves the server, and keeps a trace of departures for your staff.
Automatic roles on join
Choose one or more roles given to every new member. They are assigned before the welcome message, so a message that fails never blocks the roles. With the captcha on, the roles wait for the member to verify.

How do I create a welcome message on Discord?
Add HurixBot, open Welcome & goodbye in the dashboard, choose the channel and the format, write your message with {user} to mention the member, then save. The welcome tutorial, in French, covers the image editor.
Does the leave message also show when someone is kicked?
Yes, it shows as soon as a member leaves the server, whatever the reason.
Can the welcome message be sent by private message?
No, it is posted in the channel you choose, where the whole community can greet the new member.
Which variables can I use in the welcome message?
{user} mentions the new member, {username} shows their name without notifying them, {server} your server's name and {memberCount} the member count. In the image, {user} is shown as a name.
How do I give new members a role automatically?
In Welcome & goodbye, Automatic roles tab, choose one or more roles. They are given on every join, or after verification if the captcha is on.
