# greet/welcome embed

### ✎ step one

* create the embed by using `/embed create name:greet_embed`
* you can name the embed anything you'd like, however we strongly recommend naming it something simple and easy to remember.

### ✎ step two

* now we can edit the details of our embed to our liking
* remember : you can either outright use these edit commands, or use the buttons + modals from creating your embed to have an interactive text form.
* to edit the author to the user's avatar and name/tag, use `/embed edit author embed:greet_embed text:{user_name} icon:{user_avatar}`
* to edit the title, use `/embed edit title embed:greet_embed title:welcome to {server_name}, cutie!`
* edit the description using `/embed edit description embed:greet_embed description:- get your roles in #roles`

  `- remember to read the #rules`

  `- [link to server](https://discord.gg/mimu)`

{% hint style="warning" %}
Discord on PC/Desktop/select devices **do not** allow new lines in slash commands. if you're looking to have new lines/better spacing in your embed, we recommend either going through the text modal OR using the `{newline}` variable in place of where you want a new line to start.
{% endhint %}

* add the server icon as your thumbnail using `/embed edit thumbnail embed:greet_embed image:{server_icon}`
* you can set the timestamp by using `/embed edit timestamp embed:greet_embed timestamp:True`
* add a footer using `/embed edit footer embed:greet_embed text:you are our {server_membercount_ordinal} member!`
* add an image using `/embed edit image embed:greet_embed image:`[`https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/760988796249833472/908698057502240808/386C83E5-5761-43E2-950C-CBB9590758B4.jpg`](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/760988796249833472/908698057502240808/386C83E5-5761-43E2-950C-CBB9590758B4.jpg)
* you can edit the color of your embed by using `/embed edit color embed:greet_embed color:#ffeeff`
* in the end, you should have an embed like below if you followed the guide exact

### ✎ step three

* mimu now needs to know that we'd like this embed to be apart of our greet.
* use `/set greet message message:welcome, {user}! {embed:greet_embed}` to set the greet message to a short welcome, pinging the user, and the embed we just created.
* we also need to set our greet channel using `/set greet channel channel:#welcome`

### ✎ step four

* we can test our greet using `/test greet`
* testing our greet should yield the results below ::

{% hint style="warning" %}
if mimu *doesn't* send the greet message to the channel, it means it has no permissions to do so. you can check by using `/ping` in the greet channel and seeing if it responds. no response = no permissions.
