Welcome Messages, Welcome Cards and Captcha Verification on Discord

First impressions matter. Fibra's Member Journey covers the whole path of a member through your server: a check that they're human when they arrive, a warm welcome, and a goodbye when they leave. Everything is set up from one page on the dashboard, with a live preview that looks exactly like Discord.

How the journey works

1. 1
   Someone joins

   If verification is on, they only see the verify channel until they pass a quick captcha.
2. 2
   They get welcomed

   Fibra posts your welcome message, and can wait until after verification so bots never get a welcome.
3. 3
   They leave

   Fibra posts your goodbye message in the channel you chose.

Writing your welcome message

Each message can have plain text, an embed, an image card and up to five link buttons, all optional. Start from the default message Fibra suggests or write your own. Discord formatting like bold, lists and links works as normal.

Use variables to make every message personal. Fibra fills them in when it sends the message:

Welcome cards

A welcome card is an image Fibra creates for every new member, with their avatar and a line of text like "Welcome to the server". It makes a welcome feel special and looks great in busy channels.

• Upload your own background (PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF, up to 8 MB) or use a colour.
• Zoom and position the background so the important part of the image is in view.
• Animated GIF backgrounds are supported. Fibra keeps the animation and draws the member's avatar and text on every frame.
• Choose colours for the text, subtitle and the ring around the avatar.

Goodbye messages

Goodbye messages work the same way as welcomes, with their own text, embed, card and channel. Many servers use a quieter channel for goodbyes, or a simple one-line message.

Captcha verification

Raids and spam bots usually join in waves. Verification stops them at the door: new members click Verify, see an image with a short code, and type it in. Pass, and they get the role that unlocks your server.

1. 1
   Create a verified role

   Make a role (for example Verified) and set up your channels so only that role can see them.
2. 2
   Pick the verify channel and role

   On the Member Journey page, turn on verification, choose the channel everyone can see, and choose the role to give.
3. 3
   Publish

   Fibra posts the verify message with its button. Edit the title, text, colour or button label any time and publish again to update it.

Testing before you go live

The preview on the right updates as you type, using your own name and avatar. When you're happy, use the test button to send a real message to the channel and see it in Discord.
