Looking for welcome message inspiration? Here are ready-to-use templates for Ori’s welcome plugin. Copy any of these into the dashboard, customize the details, and you’re done.

All templates use Ori’s variables — they resolve automatically when a member joins.

Hey {user}, welcome to {server}! 🎉

You're member #{server.members}. Here's how to get started:

Best for: servers that prefer low-noise, no-frills communication.

Tips for good welcome messages

1. Keep it short. New members skim. Three lines beats three paragraphs.
2. Point somewhere. Tell them where to go — #rules, #roles, #general. Don’t make them figure it out.
3. Use {user}, not {user.name}. The mention ({user}) pings them and makes the message feel personal.
4. Match your vibe. A gaming server and a professional community need different tones. Write how your community talks.
5. Test it. Click the Test button in the dashboard. See what it actually looks like in Discord before a real member sees it.

How to set it up

1. Open the Ori dashboard
2. Go to Plugins → Welcome
3. Paste or type your message
