Send Ephem. on member add now working

[dusky current]

client.on("guildMemberAdd", async (member) => {
 await client.channels.cache.get("CH_ID").send({ "content": `__**Welcome **__! `, ephemeral: true })
}

are ephemeral only for interactions?

[wary agate]

Yep. You cannot send ephemeral messages to users unless they invoke an interaction (button, command, select menu etc)

[dusky current]

joining a guild start with a click of a button tho 😄
It is quit weird you cannot set ephemeral welcome messages then

allowing ephemeral msgs without consent would be bad design. ephemerals arent tracked by discord so ad spammers wouldnt be held accountable or be trackable
