How this automation works

Automatically post a friendly welcome message in a Discord channel when a new member joins your Ghost publication, helping community builders spark conversation and retain newcomers. The applet triggers on Ghost's New member event and posts your custom text to a selected Discord channel so every signup gets greeted in real time. Greeting new members like this supports organic social media growth and strengthens your social media engagement strategy by nudging members to introduce themselves.
