Selecting the “Send all new users a welcome message with a quick start guide” option for the `discourse narrative bot welcome post type` site setting might accomplish what you are looking for. The message will be sent from the discobot, but you can customize its text.

You will need to be sure to _not_ select the `disable discourse narrative bot welcome post` setting.
