## Creating Temporary Welcome Embeds

To create a temporarly welcome Embed you just need to add to your embed code folllowing param: `$v{delete: seconds}`

```
// Example
[prefix]welcome add #welcome {embed}{description: test}$v{delete: 5}
```

## Remove Welcome Embeds

If you wish to remove the welcome system from a channel, or you want to remove all embeds on the current server you can run:

```
// Remove a specific Welcome Embed
[prefix]welcome remove #welcome

//Remove all Welcome Embeds from the Server
[prefix]welcome reset
```
