Question

Hello everyone! I need some help with the documentation. It explains how to make a pop-up window (modal) appear when a user types "/ping." However, I'm wondering if it's also possible to show this pop-up when a user joins the server.

Here's what I'm trying to do: When a user joins the server, I want a pop-up to show up. Inside the pop-up, there will be a space where the user can type their email address. After they type their email and press a button, I will check on my database if they're allowed to be part of the community. If they are, the bot will give them a special role. If not, they'll get a different role.

A user has to interact with your bot in some way to receive a modal (hence the term "interaction").

When a user joins a guild, you'll have to figure out a way how they can interact with your bot to receive a modal. This might be a button in a channel, for example.

Great! But how can I open a modal when the user clicks the button on a specific channel?

You can find a guide on building and sending modals here. Button presses will emit the interactionCreate event as demonstrated here. The typeguard will be isButton() instead of isChatInputCommand(). And you can further narrow down which button it is, by comparing the .customId with the one you build that specific button with.
