Say hello to them.
A mention and their name turn a generic notification into a welcome they can actually feel.
MWelcome @Maya! Great to have you here.
Fluxer-native welcome bot
Make every arrival feel like an invitation.

Why Welcomer
Small bot.
Big sense of arrival.
Good communities are built in the tiny moments. Welcomer makes the most important one feel intentional.
Make it feel like yours.
Drop in your own banner, color, and copy. The bot is a blank canvas, not a brand takeover.
Quiet when it should be.
Choose whether new members receive a ping. It is your community — the greeting should respect that.

Made for the moment right after “welcome to the community.”
The good part
It shows up.
You get to be you.
A welcome message is part welcome, part house sign, and part tiny bit of magic. Welcomer handles the mechanics so you can focus on the people.
- 01Someone joins
Welcomer listens for a new community member.
- 02The right channel is found
Use your dedicated welcome channel or let the bot choose a sensible text channel.
- 03A little warmth lands
Their name, your banner, and a message that says: you belong here.
A calm setup
From zero to hello in minutes.
Welcomer is deliberately small. Add it to Fluxer, give it a channel, and let it do its one job well.

Good to know: Welcomer is Fluxer-only by design. It does not pretend to be a Discord bot, and it does not need a database to say hello.

The fine print
Questions,
answered.
Still curious? The README has the practical details, and the source is open for the curious.
Open the READMEIs this a Discord bot?
No. Welcomer uses the official Fluxer JavaScript SDK and listens for Fluxer community member events. It is a small, focused Fluxer project.
Can I change the message?
Yes. The message, embed color, footer, and banner all live in the source. Start with the custom banner in assets/, then edit the message block in the bot entrypoint.
Do new members need to be mentioned?
That is your call. Set WELCOME_PING=true for a real mention or false for a quiet, visual welcome with mentions suppressed.
Where should I host it?
Anywhere that can run the included Node.js service and make outbound connections to Fluxer. The project includes a Dockerfile and a lightweight /health endpoint for platforms such as Northflank.
Can I use my own domain for the bot?
The bot itself does not need a public web address. This project’s companion website is where a custom domain is useful; the service only needs outbound access and its health endpoint.
