How to Create a Discord Welcome Bot Without Coding

TL;DR

To create a Discord welcome bot without coding, describe your onboarding flow in VibeCord (where to welcome, what role to assign, and what links to send), preview the permissions, then deploy. In minutes your guild greets every new member automatically with consistent messaging and role assignment—no hosting or maintenance.

VibeCord makes welcome bots simple: you describe what should happen when someone joins your guild, and the platform generates and deploys the automation for you.

What to Decide First

Section titled “What to Decide First”

Before you write your description, decide:

  • Where the welcome appears: a public channel (like #welcome) or a DM
  • Which role to assign: if any (like Member or Verified)
  • The next step: read rules, pick roles, introduce themselves, or verify

A Prompt You Can Copy

Section titled “A Prompt You Can Copy”

Start with something like this and tweak names to match your guild:

“Welcome bot for my Discord guild:

  • When someone joins, post in #welcome: ‘Welcome @username! Please read #rules and introduce yourself in #introductions.’
  • Assign the ‘Member’ role immediately
  • DM them a short message with links to #rules and #roles
  • Keep the tone friendly and concise”

Test Checklist

Section titled “Test Checklist”
  • The bot posts in the right channel(s)
  • The role name matches exactly and gets assigned
  • The DM sends (if enabled) and includes correct links

FAQ

Do I need a Discord bot token?

Yes. During deployment you’ll connect a Discord bot token, and VibeCord guides you through creating and adding it safely.

Can the welcome bot assign roles automatically?

Yes. Include the exact role name (for example, Member or Verified) in your description so the bot can assign it on join.

Can the bot DM new members instead of posting publicly?

Yes. Describe whether the welcome should post in a channel, send a DM, or do both.

How do I change the welcome message later?

Edit your bot, describe the change in plain English, and redeploy to apply the update.
