Discord welcome message template (copy and paste, free)

Fill in your server name and channels, tick the steps you want new members to follow, and copy one of four ready welcome messages: friendly, short, gaming, or one that sends people to an application form. Each shows its length against Discord's 2000-character limit. Nothing is uploaded: it all runs in your browser.

Welcome them, then let them apply.

Formwell runs staff applications, whitelist requests and ban appeals inside Discord: members click Apply, answer in a pop-up, and your staff press Accept or Deny in a review channel; Accept gives the role and DMs the member. Free: 3 forms, 5 questions each, unlimited submissions.

Add Formwell to your server

Where a welcome message goes

Discord has no single place for it. Common routes: the Welcome Screen in Server Settings (Community servers), a pinned post in a read-only #welcome channel, or a bot that greets each new member. Paste the text into whichever you use and replace the greeting with the member's name or a mention.

What makes a welcome message work

Three steps at most. Rules, roles, introduce yourself. Long lists are skipped.
Name the channels. Say where to go, with the real channel names.
Say what happens next. If staff review newcomers, say how long it takes.
Warn about scams. One line that staff never ask for passwords or payments in DMs saves trouble.
