Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

[lavish maple]

ive tried going through the discord.py information page but its hard to navigate

This might work, just make it so it's to the user dm's not a channel

import discord

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message_join(member):
    channel = client.get_channel(channel_id)
    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Welcome {member.name}", description=f"Thanks for joining {member.guild.name}!") # F-Strings!
    embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url) # Set the embed's thumbnail to the member's avatar image!

    await channel.send(embed=embed)```

!d discord.on_member_join

[dawn sandal]

discord.on\_member\_join

discord.on_member_join(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member) joins a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Guild).

This requires [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Intents.members) to be enabled.

[winged pilot]

did you write this?

[lament horizon]

It's what I use

[winged pilot]

hm alright

[lament horizon]

I tossed it at the end of my code tho, because it doesn't follow the rest of my code

[winged pilot]

no i thought it was AI generated because of the comments but i'm pretty sure i'm wrong

also btw member_url might be None because it doesnt include discord's default profiles

kek

[lament horizon]

member_url is not in that code

Or I don't see it

There's embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar_url)

url=member.avatar_url

All o know it works for me

[winged pilot]

yeah i meant avatar url

what lib do you use?
