# Setting Up Custom Messages

Sometimes, you want to welcome a new member to your discord server or change what Dazai says when you level up. You can do these with **Message Events**. To start off, there are currently 4 implemented events:

1.  Join Message (`join`)
2. DM Message on Join (`joinDM`)
3. Leave Message (`leave`)
4. Levelup message (`levelup`)

With 5 custom variables

```
{USERNAME}	The user's username
{MENTION}	Pinging the user
{ID}	The ID of the User
{OLDLVL}	The level the user just passed (Only for Levelup Message)
{NEWLVL}	The level the user just got to (Only for Levelup Message)
```

To set the messages, you just need to do :

```
daz settings messageevent
```

This will enter the MessageEvent setup and guide you through setting up message events!
