## Setup Welcome Channel

You don't need to send welcome DMs to send welcome channel messages. To configure welcome channel messages, run the [`/welcome channel`](/home.md) command. You can then use the interactive menu to configure the feature to your liking.

You can use several parameters within the welcome embeds configuration.

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```
{member.mention} - Mention the user who joined the server
{member.username}- The username of the member in format @username
{member.id}      - The user id who changed their status
{guild.name}     - The server name where the event was triggered
{guild.id}       - The server id where the event was triggered
{generateImage}  - A flag for the image generation to be displayed
{memberCount}    - Displays the membercount of the server
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The `{generateImage}` parameter can only be used in the embed image field or in the message content.
{% endhint %}

You can also use some parameters in the image text:

```
{guild.name}     - The name of the server
{guild.vanity}   - The server's vanity URL (e.g. discord.gg/elyxir)
{count}          - The membercount after this user joined
{member.name}    - The username of the member who joined
```
