About this article

This article is part of the Eggdrop module wiki. It holds a list of greet modules and a short description and setup guide. At the moment this article is quite short, but it will grow over time when users add their experiences with greet modules for eggdrop.

What is a greet module?

Greet modules allow the bot to send greet messages to users upon entering the chatroom. They can be used as a welcome message for joining chatters, to communicate chatroom specific information such as chatroom commands or rules, or to communicate any message you think is appropriate to display when chatters enter the room :

    <chatter1> has entered the room.
    <bot> Hello chatter1! Welcome to our room. Press !help to get help.
