Introducing: Cordary Can Set Up Discord Onboarding for You

Discord Onboarding is the short set of questions new members answer when they join, like "What brings you here?" or "Which games do you play?". Each answer can give them a role and show them the channels that matter to them. It's one of the best ways to stop new members landing in a wall of channels.

It's also fiddly to set up by hand. Now Cordary can do it for you.

What's new

Ask Cordary in plain words, for example:

Set up onboarding. Ask new members which games they play (Valorant, Minecraft, Apex) and give them a role for each, which opens that game's channels. Everyone should start with #welcome, #rules and #general.

Cordary drafts:

• The questions and their answers, shown as choices or a dropdown, allowing one answer or several
• What each answer does: the roles it gives and the channels it shows
• The default channels every new member starts with
• The roles and channels themselves, if they don't exist yet

As always, you see every change before it happens, and nothing changes on Discord until you press Apply. If you change your mind, you can roll the run back and your old Onboarding comes back.

What you need

• Community turned on. Onboarding is a Discord Community feature. If your server isn't a Community server yet, see how to turn on Community. With Administrator, Cordary can turn it on as part of the same plan.
• Enough default channels. Discord asks for a minimum number of default channels before Onboarding can be switched on. Cordary checks this in the draft and tells you if you're short.

What stays in Discord

Discord's Server Guide (the welcome message, new-member to-dos and resource pages) is set up in Discord itself, in Server Settings → Onboarding. Our Onboarding and Server Guide guide covers both.

Try it

Open your server in Cordary and ask for onboarding, or start from a layout and add onboarding at the end. If you're not sure what to ask, describe your community and let Cordary suggest the questions.
