on_member_join event not triggering

[Zaymus]

I'm trying to make my discord bot welcome people that join a server however I'm having issues getting the event to trigger.

import discord
import os

intents = discord.Intents.all()

f = open("C:\\Users\\carso\\Desktop\\discord_token.txt", "r")
token = f.read()

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    main_channel = ''

    async def on_ready(self):
        main_channel = self.get_channel(520032652401704960)
        print(f'{self.user} is now active')

    async def on_member_join(self, member):
        print("user joined")
        await main_channel.send(f'{member.username} has joined the server')
        await self.send_message(member, "welcome")


client = MyClient()
client.run(token)#runs the bot using the token that was read from the txt file

Have you enabled the server members intent in your bot's dashboard?

[Zaymus]

Yes I have

You have forgotten the init class. You obviously need to define the intents in the code as well. Try something like;

def __init__(self):
    self.intents = intents

[Harmon758]

You need to pass the intents when you initialize Client.
