How To Create a Welcome Message on Discord

Original source date

Answer

We suggest using the Dyno Discord bot to send welcome messages to new users. On the Dyno website, log in with your Discord account. Next, authorize the bot to make changes on your server. Ensure the bot has the appropriate permissions to manage your server. To do so, navigate to your Discord server. Display the member list, and when selecting the Dyno bot, you can add a new role, in my case that would be the Bot role, which has enough permissions to properly work.
