If you want your Discord community onboarding to be consistent and engaging, you can set up Spark custom onboarding messages. The process is configured inside Spark AI chat, where you create an onboarding message for new users and include Discord emotes and a user ID.
Open Spark AI chat in your dashboard
Start by opening your Spark dashboard. From there, go to Spark AI chat.
Once you’re inside Spark AI chat, look for the option related to custom onboarding messages.
Select the custom onboarding session for users
In Spark AI chat, find the session setting dedicated to custom onboarding messages for users.
The transcript indicates there is a specific session you can select for custom onboarding messages. Choose that session so you can create the onboarding message that will be used for new Discord users.
Create your onboarding message (with Discord emotes and user ID)
After selecting the custom onboarding session, create the onboarding message.
When composing the message, the video specifically shows including:
- Discord emotes in the onboarding message
- A user ID as part of the setup
Add your desired text and include the Discord emote you want displayed in the onboarding message. Then include the user ID as shown in the configuration flow.
Save the onboarding message
When your onboarding message is ready, save it.
The transcript emphasizes that saving the message completes the configuration for Spark to apply your onboarding setup.
Wait for propagation
After saving, wait a few minutes for the change to propagate.
The video notes that once the setup happens, it may take a short period for the onboarding configuration to show up for new users.
Verify the onboarding message for new Discord users
Once propagation is complete, new users who join your Discord community should see the onboarding message you configured.
According to the transcript, the onboarding message will appear for a new user and will include the Discord emote you added during setup.
Conclusion
To set up Spark custom onboarding messages for new Discord users, open your Spark dashboard, go to Spark AI chat, select the session for custom onboarding messages, create your onboarding message with Discord emotes and a user ID, save it, and then wait for a few minutes for propagation. After that, new Discord users will see the onboarding message you configured.
