Overview
Variables are dynamic placeholders that pom replaces with real data when a message is sent. Use them inside embed scripts to personalize welcome messages, goodbye messages, boost messages, and autoresponders.
Variables use curly brace syntax: {variable_name}. Nested properties use dot notation: {user.display_avatar}.

Usage Tips
The most commonly used variables are {user}, {user.mention}, {user.display_avatar}, {user.join_position_suffix}, {guild}, and {guild.count}. These cover most welcome and goodbye message needs.
Use {user.display_avatar} instead of {user.avatar} for thumbnails and images — it respects server-specific avatars when available.
Variables are case-sensitive. {User} will not work — use {user}.
