How to include guild name in welcome message using discord.py

votes

I'm very new to using discord.py and python in general so please bear with me.

My current goal is to make my discord bot send a welcome and a leave message to a certain channel when a person joins or leaves. In that message I would like to include both the person's name and the name of the server, guild, being joined, or left.

The code I have so far is:

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
print(f'Greetings {member}, welcome to server')

I know that this only prints the message in the terminal. I don't know how to make the bot send a message to a text channel. I do know that you can use .send, however, I don't know which object to use before it, channel, ctx, etc.

I also have confusion in regards to collecting the server name. I've tried using discord.Guild.name but that only returns <member 'name' of 'Guild' objects>.

I have tried looking through the documentation to fix my problem but either I'm blind and can't find the solution or too dumb to realize the solution when I see it.

Please point me in the right direction to solving my issue or provide the correct code I should use, anything constructive and helpful is greatly appreciated and desired.

Thanks for reading this post and potentially aiding me.

Best regards, Kelsier

EDIT:

The main issue that I have been running into is the fact that you need a message parameter and then have a message be sent in chat to then have the bot react and send a message. This is troublesome because in the on_member_join and on_member_remove events the only parameter is member, removing the possibility, at least I think so, to define and then send a message.

From reading the documents there doesn't seem to be an easy print-statement like function that simply sends a message, which is very annoying.

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
channel = client.get_channel(ID) # Where ID is your welcome channel's ID

# Send welcome message to channel
await channel.send(f'Welcome {member}!, Enjoy your stay at {member.guild.name}!')

Client.get_channel

you can get the guild name via the member

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
print(f'Greetings {member}, welcome to {member.guild.name}')

@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
print(f'Greetings {member.mention}, welcome to {member.guild.name}')

This is the welcome message, it says Greetings @Username, welcome to server name
