How can I create a discord welcome message with the newer version for nodejs?


This is what I have and it is not sending anything:

client.on("guildMemberAdd", (member) => {
    const welcomeMessage = "Please welcome <@${member.id}> <a:pepesimp:881812231208181790> welcome to our ~~cult~~ club!";
    member.guild.channels.cache.get((i) => i.name === "welcome").send(welcomeMessage);
});

Solution

  • You need to request the GUILD_MEMBERS when initiating your client otherwise this event will not be triggered.

    const client = new Discord.Client({
        intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MEMBERS]
    });
    

    You also need to make sure that you have enabled it in the Discord Developer Portal.
