DISCORD.PY PYTHON - I want to make a function which sends a global message in the server when a user joins in the server

Question

I am trying to make a Discord BOT using Python. I am creating different kind of functions and now I want to create a function that lets the BOT to send a message in the general channel when someone joins the server

import discord
import random

from discord.ext import commands

token = 'BOT_TOKEN'
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '!')

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{client.user.name} is now ready')

@client.command(aliases = ['ask', 'chiedi'])
async def _ask(ctx, *, question):
    file_object = open("quotes.txt")
    quotes = file_object.readlines()
    file_object.close()

    rnd = random.choice(quotes)
    await ctx.send(rnd)

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    author = message.author
    content = message.content
    log = '{}: {}'.format(author, content)
    with open("logs.txt", "a+") as my_file:
        my_file.write(log + "\n")
        my_file.close()

'''
func print_msg
    once the user joins the server
    print message to greet him

'''

client.run(token)

I expect the output to be something like "Username has joined our server! Welcome."

Please be more specific and provide code snippets of the work done on your end for problem scoping. — Stoner
I edited your post; Do not show your bot's token to anyone. Someone who have your bot's token can have access to your entire bot. — Kaynn

Assuming you are using version 1.3.0a... (or somewhere close)

You can basically follow the template that they have given on here. There is one for on_ready() and another for on_message(message).
Just find the respective event that you need in the docs, what you probably want is on_member_join(member),
like so:

# ...
@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    await member.guild.text_channels[0].send("A message sent to the first channel because a member joined!")
# ...
