I am using the following code to print the latest message on a specific discord channel, but it always brings an empty string.
from termcolor import colored
import discord
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents.messages = True
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.all())
#client.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
# Check if the message was sent in the specific channel you want to read from
if message.channel.id == CHANNELID: # replace CHANNEL_ID with the ID of the channel you want to read from
print(colored(message.content, 'green'))
client.run('TOKEN')
Any ideas?
Message Content Intent is correctly enabled on the application, and the bot has read message and read message history permissions on the channel.
this is the case if your bot dont have the intents setup.
Go to the Discord Developer Portal and to your Bot, then go to Bot and go to the Privilege Gateway Intents and check the Message Content Intent
you have already specified the intents in your code so this should do it

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ui import Select,View
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
#bot.event
async def on_ready():
print('Logged in!')
#bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
await ctx.send("hello")
bot.run("token here")
When I try to use the !test
nothing happens (no message or error)
what is the problem?
also installed library py-cord and discord.py
You're missing the Intents. Create an Intents object, enable message_content (so your commands can be parsed) and it will work.
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
You also need to enable the message_content in the Developer portal.
The message_content intent is on the first page of the docs.
Discord intents.
I just started learning discord.py but my bot isn't responding even though I followed the documentation and no error messages. The bot is online but doesn't respond to my messages
I was attempting to do this from a tutorial
import os
import discord
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
#client.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'
.format(client))
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
await message.channel.send('Hello!')
client.run(os.environ['TOKEN'])
Please Someone Help me! :(
Your bot can't read the content of the messages sent in a guild because it is missing the message_content intent.
You gave your bot only the default intents, which doesn't include the message_content one.
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
Here is how you fix it:
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
In case your bot isn't still able to read the content of the guild messages, you need also to turn on the message content intent in the Discord Developer Portal:
Select your app
Go to the "Bot" tab
Turn the "message content intent" on
Now your bot should be able to read the content of the messages sent in guilds.

apparently I am creating a simple discord reply bot and I have an error with my code. Even if I say the correct word with $ in chat, it is still using and replying to me with the else statement. I do not have this problem on the replit, but I do on my home PC, what could be the problem?
import discord
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
load_dotenv()
TOKEN = 'TOKEN'
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
await message.channel.send("Hello World!")
else:
await message.channel.send("Hello World! BUT ERROR")
#client.event
async def on_connect():
print("Bot Connected")
client.run(TOKEN)
enter image description here
Your bot does not have the Message Content Intents, so it will not be able to read messages sent by users.
In discord.py 2.0, a bot must have the Message intent in order to read messages' content.
To enable Message Intents for your bot, follow these steps:
Go to Discord's developer portal and click on your application's name.
Click on "Bot" in the sidebar.
Scroll down until you see "Privileged Gateway Intents".
You should see the option named "Message Content Intent". Enable it.
The next step:
At the start of your bot code, you should have a line of code that creates a Client or Bot object, for example:
client = discord.Client() or bot = discord.Bot(...)
First, you should define a variable intents:
intents = discord.Intents.all() # define intents
Now, add the parameter intents to the object, like this:
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
or:
bot = discord.Bot(..., intents=intents)
And you are all set!
Hope this helped.
If I understood your question correctly. I suggest that you use the following code instead.
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.lower() == '$hello':
await message.channel.send("Hello World!")
else:
await message.channel.send("Hello World! BUT ERROR")
What I have changed here is using the string matching instead of startswith() function.
I tried to greet users on the server but nothing works.
This my code:
#client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
await client.get_channel(918604938085548064).send(f"{member.name} has joined")
I also tried code like this:
#client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
# check if the guild the member is joining is equal to your guild's id
if member.guild.id != GUILD ID:
return
# if it's the same guild id, it continues
embed = discord.Embed(color=0x6c5ce7)
# etc, other code
I thought that this code was enough, but I never received a message or an error in the console.
Console output:
If you don't get any message or an error then it's probably happening because you didn't enable Privileged Gateway intents and your bot doesn't get the member. As you can see in the docs - on_member_join requires intents.Members.
Enable Server Members Intent on the Discord Developer site in the Bot section.
Then, add something like this to your code:
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
I am trying to make a discord bot with the Discord.py library. The commands with the #client.command() decorator work fine for me, but none of the event ones that I tried work.
#client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
channel = client.get_channel(ChannelId) #I did define channel Id in my code
await channel.send("someone has joined")
#client.event
async def on_member_remove(member):
print("Someone has left")
I would expect this to output to the terminal or in the channel id I put in, but nothing appears, not even an error message.
*I used client. for all functions.
*I am doing this on mac.
Im not quite sure why its working, I do not get any error messages, and I cant seem to find anyone else with this problem.
Thanks in advance
With version >1.5.0 you can do something like this:
import discord
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
#client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
await member.send("Welcome!")
You also need to enable intents in the developer portal in https://discord.com/developers/applications. Bot > Bot > Presence & Server Members Intents > Toggle On
import discord
intents = discord.Intents.all()
discord.member = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="[",intents = intents)
and you need to go to developer portal --> applications(select your bot)
and under the setting have a bot. Click it under the page has PRESENCE INTENT and SERVER MEMBERS INTENT you need to open it. That will be working.
If you are using discord.py v1.5.0, see the docs for Gateway Intents
