Welcome and Boosts
Simple module to say "Hi" to new members, give them roles automatically and say "thanks" to users who boosted.
Features
- Welcome new members with custom messages (and dynamic images).
- Say bye to members who left your server.
- Thank users who boosted your server with custom messages and emotionally blackmail them by sending a message when they remove their boost.
- Add an unlimited amount of welcome, boost or leave messages in different channels.
- Automatically grant roles to new members and boosters.
- Let the bot use a random message to get some variety in your welcome, leave, boost and unboost messages.
- Automatically delete welcome-messages of members who left within 7 days after joining.
- Add a button below messages that allows your existing members to welcome users.
Setup
Set up Welcome Messages
Welcome messages get sent every time a new member joins the server. You can add a welcome-button to these messages which allows your existing members to welcome the new user. Additionally, if enabled, the message will get deleted if the user leaves your server within seven days.
- Create or select one of your channels in which the bot should send your message when a new member join. The bot has to have the "View channel", "Send messages" and "View message history" permissions on it.
- Add the channel to the channel configuration using the "join" Message-Type and configure it.
- Configure the message:
- If you want to use random messages, enable the "Random messages?" option, open the random messages configuration file and configure the random messages with the Message-Type " join".
- If you want to send the same message every time, use the channel configuration to configure the message.
Set up Boost / Unboost Messages
Boost-Messages gets send when a user boosts the server for the first time and the Unboost-Message will get send when a user removes all of their boosts from your server. This messages will not get resend if a user increases or decreases the amount of boosts on your server due to a Discord API limitation.
- Create or select one of your channels in which the bot should send when a member boosts your server. The bot has to have the "View channel", "Send messages" and "View message history" permissions on it.
- Add the channel to the channel configuration using the "Boost" or "Unboost" Message-Type and configure it.
- Configure the message:
- If you want to use random messages, enable the "Random messages?" option, open the random messages configuration file and configure the random messages with the Message-Type " boost" or "unboost".
- If you want to send the same message every time, use the channel configuration to configure the message.
Set up Leave Messages
Leave messages will get send every time a user leaves your server.
- Create or select one of your channels in which the bot should send when a member leaves your server. The bot has to have the "View channel", "Send messages" and "View message history" permissions on it.
- Add the channel to the channel configuration using the "leave" Message-Type and configure it.
- Configure the message:
- If you want to use random messages, enable the "Random messages?" option, open the random messages configuration file and configure the random messages with the Message-Type " leave".
- If you want to send the same message every time, use the channel configuration to configure the message.
Setup Join or Boost Roles
Currently, Join-Roles might overwrite or remove roles from users that have assigned themselves roles using Discord's onboarding. This issue is known and is being worked on.
- Open the module configuration.
- Select the desired roles in the respective configuration fields.
Usage
After setting up the module, messages will get automatically sent every time the event gets triggered.
To allow your members to use a Welcome button, simply enable this feature in your configuration. Once done, new messages will have a (configurable) button. When this button is pressed by one of your members, it will get inactive (= it can't be pressed by anyone another time) and a configurable message will get sent in the configured channel.
Configuration
This module is split in multiple configuration files. You can find them below.
Channels
In this configuration file, you can set up the channels in which this module is supposed to operate in and allows configuration of these channels. Open it in your dashboard.
This configuration file uses "Config-Elements". One Config-Element represents each channel that should receive messages when a supported event is triggered. You can add a channel multiple times, this is especially required if you want to send different event types in the same channel.
Each Channel has the following configuration options:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Channel | This is the channel the message will get sent in. |
| Channel-Type | Depending on this value, this particular Config-Element will represent the configuration for a specific event type (see setup. The following options are available:
|
| Random messages | If this option is enabled, the "Message" value will NOT be applied. Instead, a random message with the same Channel-Type will get sent randomly. |
| Message | This will be the message sent in this channel, if "Random messages" is not enabled. This option supports dynamic image generation to make your messages even more pretty ✨. |
| Welcome Button | This option is only available, when "Channel Type" is set to "join" If enabled, a button will get added below each message. One other member can then click on this button, which will trigger the configured message to be sent. |
| Welcome Button Content | Only visible if "Welcome Button" is enabled. This will be the content of the button added below messages. The value needs to be less than 100 characters. |
| Channel in which the welcome-button should send a message | Only visible if "Welcome Button" is enabled. This is the channel the welcome message will get sent in once another member presses the welcome button. |
| Welcome Button Message | Only visible if "Welcome Button" is enabled. This is the message that gets sent in the configured channel when another member presses the welcome button. |
Module configuration
In this configuration file allows you to set up welcome- and boost roles and configure other basic features of this module. Open it in your dashboard.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Give roles on join | These roles will be given to members who joined your server. This won't get applied retroactively, use the massrole module to do this. |
| Ignore bots? | If enabled (this is highly recommended), welcome and leave messages won't get sent if the user joining or leaving is a bot. |
| Give additional roles on boost | These roles will be given to members who boosted your server in addition to their boost-role assigned by Discord. The roles will get removed if the member removes all their boosts. |
| Delete welcome message | If enabled, sent welcome messages will get deleted automatically if the user leaves your server within seven days after join. |
Random messages
This configuration file will get used if a configured channel uses the "Random messages" option. In this case, the bot will randomly select one of the messages configured in this file with the same type as configured in the channel.
This configuration file uses "Config-Elements". One Config-Element represents a message which a specified type. When a channel uses the "Random messages" option, a random message with the same type will get selected.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Message-Type | see the "Channel-Type" option in the channel configuration. |
| Message | This is the message that gets send if this message object will get selected randomly. This option supports dynamic image generation to make your messages even more pretty ✨. |
Troubleshooting
This module is notoriously trick to troubleshoot, as its highly flexible and customizable design introduces a complicated configuration structure. If none of the steps below help (please try them first!), you can always reach out to our friendly staff at scnx.app/help.
A message is not being sent or the message is "Message not found".
- Make sure your bot has the "View channel", "Send messages" and "View message history" permissions on the configured channel.
- Make sure a correct channel entry is set up of the correct channel and correct event type.
- If you are using Random Messages: Make sure at least one random message is configured for this event-type. The message in the channel entry will be ignored.
- If you are not using Random Messages: Make sure you have configured a valid message in your channel entry.
I am experiencing issues with a dynamically generated image.
Please visit sc-net.work/imgen, as shown in the error image.
No message is being sent when a user adds another boost to their existing server boost.
This happens due to a Discord API limitation. We cannot change this behavior.
Stored data
The following data will get stored for every configured welcome messsage every time when a new member joins:
- An unique integer identifying the database entry
- The unique Discord User-ID of the member who just joined and triggered the welcome message
- The unique Discord Message-ID of the welcome message that got sent by the bot
- The unique Discord Channel-ID of the channel the welcome message got sent in by the bot
- The exact time the member joined the server
- Metadata about the entry (date when created and last updated)
This data will get used to delete the sent welcome messages if the user leaves the server within seven days after joins (if enabled). There is no way to stop the bot from storing data (as toggling this feature should be retroactive), but the data won't get used unless the feature is enabled.
To remove all data, purge the module database.
