Free Discord welcome bot, no code

A Discord welcome bot is usually the first thing a server sets up, and usually the reason people end up paying for one. Noria's Welcome & Goodbye node does the whole job in a single step: greet the arrival, hand them their starting roles, optionally write to them privately, and post a goodbye when they leave.

Why one node instead of five#

Built by hand, a welcome flow is a Member trigger, a branch on whether it was a join or a leave, a send-message, a send-DM and a grant-role — five pieces to wire and keep in sync. The recipe node collapses that:

• It knows which half to run. The Member trigger already distinguishes a join from a leave, so the node reads the event rather than making you say it twice. Connect it to one output or to both — either works.
• It knows who joined. Username, nickname, avatar and server name come straight off the trigger, so there is no expression to write.
• Roles are handed out first. They are what a member notices immediately, so they never get skipped because a message failed to send.

Every option, explained#

• Server — which server this runs in.
• Ignore bots — on by default. A bot added to the server is neither greeted nor given roles.
• Welcome channel — where arrivals are greeted. Leave it empty to skip the public greeting; a private one and the starting roles still work.
• Welcome message — your own text. {{user}} becomes a mention, {{username}} their Discord username, {{display_name}} their nickname on the server, and {{server}} the server name. The editor may flag these as unknown variables — that warning is expected and harmless, since the node fills them in itself.
• Send the welcome as an embed — post it as an embed card instead of plain text. Required for a banner or the member's avatar.
• Embed title and banner image URL — shown at the top and bottom of the embed.
• Show their avatar — puts the joining member's avatar in the embed's corner.
• Also welcome them privately — sends the same text as a DM alongside the public greeting.
• Roles given on arrival — a starter role, a colour, an opt-in default. Handed out the moment someone joins.
• Goodbye channel and goodbye message — where and what to post when someone leaves. {{username}}, {{display_name}} and {{server}} work here too. A mention is deliberately not offered: Discord renders it as a raw id once the member has gone.
• Remove their welcome when they leave — deletes the greeting posted when they joined, so a welcome channel only shows members who are still here.

The node also outputs whether it posted anything and which event it handled, so you can branch after it — for example, an If node that pings a moderator only on departures.

Set it up in three steps#

1. Create a workflow and add a Discord — Member trigger.
2. Connect the Welcome & Goodbye node to the trigger's Member Joined output — or to both Member Joined and Member Left if you want a goodbye too.
3. Pick your welcome channel, write the message, and add any roles new members should get. Test it, then activate.

Going further#

The recipe covers the common case in one node, but it is not a black box: unpack it and you get the real nodes underneath, which you can then change freely. Two things people usually add next:

• A verification gate — pair the welcome with a role members only get after confirming, so arrivals land in a limited view of the server first.
• A milestone announcement — a Scores node counting joins, plus an If node that celebrates the 100th member.
