# Welcome Messages

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">🌟</mark> <mark style="color:blue;"></mark><mark style="color:blue;">**Get ready for something amazing for your server! 🚀**</mark> \
\
This feature is a true gem: it allows you to send 💌 direct messages or channel messages automatically when a new user joins your community. It's like having a digital butler welcoming each new member with a personal touch!<br>

**Think about the flexibility**:\
\
\- You can opt to send direct messages for a warmer, more personal welcome 🤗, or choose a specific channel for vibrant public announcements 📢. The choice is yours!

Here's the best part: If you decide on both, this smart tool adapts to your needs! If a channel is selected and you also choose to send direct messages, the tool cleverly ignores the channel selection. So no confusion, just pure efficiency! 🌈

It's the perfect way to ensure that every new member of your community feels instantly part of something special and exciting. \
\
**Make your server shine with this fantastic feature! 💫**
