Discord welcome message examples (+ free no-code setup)

A good welcome message sets the tone for your whole server: it greets newcomers, points them to the rules, and nudges them to introduce themselves. This guide gives you 20 ready-to-use examples and shows how to send one automatically to every new member — without writing any code.

Send it automatically with Noria (no code)

You don't need to code or rent a generic bot — connect your own Discord bot and let it run:

1. Connect your Discord bot to Noria (paste your bot token — it stays encrypted).
2. Open the editor and add a Member Joined trigger.
3. Add a Send Message action, choose your #welcome channel, and paste one of the examples above.
4. Use the {{username}} variable so each message is personalised.
5. Click Activate. Every new member now gets greeted automatically.

The fastest start is the Discord Welcome Message template — it opens pre-wired so you only change the text and channel.

Make it your own

• Personalise with {{username}} (name) or {{user_mention}} (@mention).
• Add a role automatically on join — see the Discord auto-role guide.
• Send a private DM with the rules instead of (or alongside) the public message.
• Add a delay so the greeting doesn't get buried during a raid of joins.

That's it — a warm, automatic welcome for every newcomer, running on your own bot.
