Yes, but they are limited. Under Server Settings, then Overview, then System Messages, Discord can post a short random greeting (like "X just joined. Everyone, look busy!") when someone joins. You cannot edit that text. For a custom welcome message with your own wording, mentions, and member count, you need a welcome bot or you paste the message manually.

How to Set Up a Welcome Message in Discord
Four steps from copy to a live greeting in your welcome channel
- 1
Pick a template or build your own
Choose one of the templates above, or use the generator to toggle the parts you want, add your server name, and pick a plain or aesthetic style. - 2
Copy the message
Click copy to send the full message to your clipboard. Keep the {user}, {server}, and {count} placeholders. Your welcome bot replaces them automatically when a member joins. - 3
Choose how it gets sent
For Discord's basic built-in message, set the channel under Server Settings, then Overview, then System Messages Channel. For a custom message with mentions and member counts, paste it into a welcome bot like MEE6, Welcomer, Arcane, or ProBot. - 4
Paste, set the channel, and test
Drop the message into your bot's welcome (or "greeting") settings, point it at your welcome channel, and test it. Most bots have a "preview" or "test" button so you do not have to rejoin.
What Makes a Good Discord Welcome Message?
Give them one clear next step. A welcome message works best when it points somewhere. Send new members to #rules, #roles, or your latest event so they do something in the first minute instead of lurking.
Use the real channel names. Swap the example #channel names for yours. If a channel name does not match, Discord shows it as plain text instead of a clickable link, which looks broken to a brand-new member.
Custom text needs a bot. Discord's built-in welcome messages are canned and cannot be edited. To use your own wording, mentions, and member counts, you need a welcome bot. The placeholder syntax differs per bot, so match your tokens to its settings.
A welcome message gets new members in the door. ScopliDrop gets them to stay, with giveaways and engagement events you can point to right from the greeting.
