# Welcome Messages

> Configure welcome messages for your server

Welcome messages help greet new members and make your server more welcoming. This page explains how to set up, customize, and manage welcome messages in Greed.

## Setup

To enable welcome messages in your server, run:

```bash theme={null}
,welcome setup
```

This will configure welcome messages in the current channel.

## Set the Welcome Channel

Set the channel where welcome messages will be sent:

```bash theme={null}
,welcome channel #welcome
```

## Customize the Welcome Message

Set your custom welcome message with optional auto-delete:

```bash theme={null}
,welcome message Welcome {user} to {server}! --auto_delete 15
```

Auto-delete is optional (1-30 seconds).

## View Current Message

You can check your current welcome message configuration at any time:

```bash theme={null}
,welcome view (channel)
```

This command will display your current welcome message and its settings.

## Test Welcome

Preview your welcome message as it will appear to new members:

```bash theme={null}
,welcome test (channel)
```

This command will send a test welcome message to the configured channel so you can see exactly how it looks.
