# Greeting

> Configure welcome messages for new members

## Overview

The greeting system lets you send a custom message or embed to a channel when a new member joins your server. This is useful for welcoming users, sharing server rules, or providing important info

<Info>
  Greeting messages can use variables and embed scripting. See the [Variables](../Resources/variables.mdx) page for all available placeholders.
</Info>

<Tip>
  You can use both plain text and embed scripting for your greeting message. See [Embeds](../Resources/Embeds.mdx) for advanced formatting
