• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.
• Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

here's the code:

const {GuildMember, Embed} = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    name: "guildMemberAdd",
    async execute(member) {
        const {user, guild} = member;
        const welcomeChannel = member.guild.channels.cache.get('976405368659902535');
        const welcomeMessage = `Welcome <@${member.id}> to the server!`;

        const welcomeEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
        .setTitle("**New member!**")
        .setDescription(welcomeMessage)
        .setTimestamp();

        await welcomeChannel.send({embeds: [welcomeEmbed]});
    }
}```

#

it won't send any error message but it doesn't send the message either

@wheat flower What intents do you have?

#

Specifically, do you have GuildMembers intent?

wheat flower Sep 5, 2022, 1:24 AM

#

All of 'em

#

yes

cold lion Sep 5, 2022, 1:24 AM

#

what does "all" mean

wheat flower Sep 5, 2022, 1:25 AM

#

i have a number that's supposedly all the intents

cold lion Sep 5, 2022, 1:25 AM

#

supposedly

#

so you have no clue?

tired garnetBOT Sep 5, 2022, 1:25 AM

#

We highly recommend only specifying the intents you actually need.
• Note, that 98303, 32767 or whatever other magic number you read that represents "all intents", gets outdated as soon as new intents are introduced.
• The number will always represent the same set of intents, and will not include new ones. There is no magic "all intents" bit.

#

hmmm

#

i'll add guildmembers

#

thanks

cold lion Sep 5, 2022, 1:26 AM

#

well, to be fair, we don't know if that's even the issue here

neat stratus Sep 5, 2022, 1:26 AM

#

Remember to enable in the portal too

#

cold lion well, to be fair, we don't know if that's even the issue here

True

cold lion Sep 5, 2022, 1:26 AM

#

since you didn't really show your client definition

wheat flower Sep 5, 2022, 1:26 AM

#

in the portal, everything is enabled

#

i know i generalize too much

neat stratus Sep 5, 2022, 1:27 AM

#

wheat flower here's the code: ```const {EmbedBuilder} = require("@discordjs/builders"); cons...

And where this event is called

#

Or how

wheat flower Sep 5, 2022, 1:27 AM

#

doesn't it call itself on member join?

#

if not what do i do to call it?

neat stratus Sep 5, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

It need to be attached to the event on the client

wheat flower Sep 5, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

you can tell i'm a newbie

cold lion Sep 5, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

no, the functions you write don't run themselves

#

you need to run them on your own. given the format, probably in some client.on(event) or similar

wheat flower Sep 5, 2022, 1:29 AM

#

so, in this context: client.on(member.join)...

#

idk i'm sorry

#

wasting your time

I just found out that:

I have the GuildMembers intent
the function executes since I have it set up in the event handler

#

it's name is the event
