It can be frustrating when you can’t find out who’s missing from your online friend group. When you join a Discord server, an arrival message will be sent out in one of the server channels if the default settings are enabled. However, once a person exits the server, there will be no departure notification, so you’ll have no clue that a member has left the server.
But when you’re using a bot to moderate your Discord activity, then there’s a way to track who joins and who leaves. Since Discord offers no official log to help you find who leaves the online community, you’ll need to know how to set up bots so that you can organize your online activity more effectively.
How to Check if Someone Left a Discord Server with a Discord Bot
Bots offer server members a unique user experience. They have multi-purpose features, and you can use them to play music, enforce server rules, donating tips, and automate tasks like sending messages.
One of the most popular Discord bots is MEE6.
Not only does it give you more control over managing your servers, but it also acts as a welcomer. This means that you won’t have to worry about tracking who’s joining and leaving your online group. Instead, MEE6 handles the issue by notifying you through welcome and goodbye messages.
While the welcome message will appear automatically whenever a new user comes on, there are a few steps you’ll need to take to be able to track who’s left the server. Luckily, the process is the same for all PCs, iPhones, and Android tablets.
First, you’ll have to set up the bot on your device and add it to your Discord.
How to Check if Someone Left a Discord Server on a PC
Although you can choose from several bots, MEE6 remains a popular pick due to its user-friendliness and reliability. Here’s how to add it to your server on a PC:
- Go to the MEE6 page from your browser.
- Select the “Add to Discord” option.
- Enter your Discord login information to authenticate the account. You might see a window asking for permission to use your account, so tap “Authorize.”
- Click the “Set up MEE6” button beside the server name.
- Select the server in the pop-up window and tap “Continue.”
- Decide which permissions the bot will have, and hit “Authorize” at the bottom of the window.
The bot will now be part of your server and act according to its permissions.
How to Set Up a Goodbye Message on a PC
Goodbye messages are a great tool to know when a member has left the server. However, they aren’t clickable, so you won’t be able to view the person’s profile and send them a message. If you’ve never met your Discord friends, being able to reach them even when they’re no longer part of the community is invaluable.
Once the leave message pops up, you can copy the username at its beginning. Then, navigate to the top of the app to the search bar and paste the username. Now you might be able to see the person’s profile. But if someone wants to remain anonymous, they might change their Discord name before or after they leave, so you won’t be able to locate their profile once they are gone.
One way of getting around this issue is to set up the message to be clickable to provide all the necessary information about the missing Discord member.
Here’s how to make the goodbye message clickable:
- Head over to the MEE6 page.
- Enter your settings menu.
- Under “Server management,” select the “Welcome” tab from the options panel.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page until you reach “Get a message when a user leaves a server.”
- Tap the “Enable” switch to turn on this option. It should turn green when it’s activated.
- Choose the server where the messages will appear in the “Goodbye Message ” menu drop-down. Also, you can type a custom leave message in the “Goodbye Message” textbox at the end of the page.
- To make this message clickable so that you can extract information from it, type
<@{user.id}>
into the textbox.
- Click “Save” to record the changes.
The next time someone leaves your server, the name at the beginning of the notification should be clickable. When you select it, you’ll see the person’s profile preview. You’ll then be able to add their profile and send them a message
