# Welcomer

### Setup

You can enable welcome messages by enabling the `welcome` module, however, you will need to configure the module to have it work properly. You can enable the module like this:

```
/lindsey modules enable welcome
```

After enabling the welcome module, you can configure it by either clicking the Configure button or by issuing the following command:

```
/lindsey modules configure welcome
```

This will start a simple step-by-step setup where you will be asked a few questions to get the welcomer configuration going. **On the last step, it will ask you for the welcome message, simply type the message and send it in chat**, when you are happy with it, click the Finish button!

### In-depth configuration

Welcomer has two simple config options, the channel where welcome messages will be sent and the message template that will be used.

The message template can contain special placeholders like `{User.Name}`, a list of all supported placeholders is available on the page below. It is *currently* not possible to send images along with the welcome message, however this is planned for the future.

{% content-ref url="/pages/PXh4jwEmJnUgx8c0z1hZ" %}
[Placeholders](/lindsey/advanced/placeholders.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Due to a Discord limitation, we cannot ask for text input on the setup yet, so for the last step, you will need to type the message in chat, and then click the Finish button on the setup. The bot will delete the message that it used for the setup.
{% endhint %}
