Opt-in at the rules screening
Members agree to receive DMs and email updates as they accept your server rules. No opt-in, no message, ever.
Try the welcome flow
The Discord welcome message bot that turns joins into email subscribers.
Consent first, then one message. Members opt in inside your Discord rules screening, and BotLunar's Discord welcome message bot sends exactly one DM when they join, asking for their email. Every opt-in is stored with its source and timestamp.

One DM. Only to members who opted in at the door.
Why welcome messages on BotLunar
Consent at the door. One message after.
Members agree before they are ever messaged, and the single DM they get turns that agreement into an email address.
Exactly one DM
When an opted-in member joins, BotLunar sends a single welcome DM. No drip, no follow-up chain, no nagging.
Built to capture an email
That one DM has one job: turn a new member into an email subscriber you can reach anywhere.
Want drop alerts by email too? Totally optional.

Source and timestamp stored
Every consent record keeps where it came from and exactly when, so you can prove it later.
Join spikes handled
A wave of new members? Welcome DMs go out at the same steady per bot pace as every campaign, so a spike queues rather than floods.
How it works
Switch on your welcome flow in three steps.
01 Add the opt-in to your rules screening
Include a clear line asking new members to agree to DMs and email updates before they can join.
02 Write the one DM
Keep it short and make the email ask obvious. Preview it exactly as members will see it.
03 Go live
From then on, every member who opts in at the door gets that single DM when they join.
Welcome messages questions

How do members opt in?
Through your Discord rules screening. You add a line asking new members to agree to receive DMs and email updates, and they accept it before they can take part in the server. Members who do not agree are never messaged.
How many DMs does a new member get?
Exactly one. Its purpose is to ask for their email address. There is no follow-up sequence and no reminders.
What is stored when someone opts in?
The consent record itself, its source, which is the rules screening, and the timestamp. If they give an email, that is stored with the same record.
Does it message members who joined before I switched it on?
No. The flow only runs for members who opt in at the rules screening after it is live. Reach existing opted-in members with a campaign instead.
What if a new member has DMs turned off?
Discord rejects the DM and BotLunar records it honestly. Nothing is retried in a way that breaks the rules.
