I'm trying to setup a simple discord.py enabled bot and having trouble welcoming new members. I have the following code and when a new member joins, the bot is able to process the default welcome message Discord sends but doesn't process anything in the on_member_join() function. I've enabled intents within Discord (both gateway and member) and still can't figure out why it won't process a new member joining. I've also tested with a brand-new created member and still won't trigger.
import discord
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = discord.Client()
#client.event
async def on_ready(): # When ready
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
#client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
print('Someone new!')
await member.send("Welcome")
#client.event
async def on_message(message): # On every message
if message.author == client.user: # Cancel own message
return
if message.content.startswith('?'):
await message.channel.send('Command')
client.run(DISCORD_TOKEN)
This is not related to using Client instead of Bot.
You created the intents variable, but you're never using it. You're supposed to pass it into your discord.Client(), which you aren't doing, so the members intent will always be disabled.
# Original question
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = discord.Client() # <-- You're not passing intents here! The variable is never used so intents are disabled
That's also why your answer fixes it: because you're actually using your intents (...intents=intents...).
# Your "fix"
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents = intents) # <-- Notice the intents
Using discord.Client or commands.Bot has no influence on this: commands.Bot without passing intents wouldn't do anything either.
# This would cause the exact same issue, because intents aren't used
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!")
Passing your intents into the Client would also work, just like that fixes the problem for your Bot.
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
EDIT: See answer. Changing the below correctly passed intents (with members = True) to the bot.
Unsure why but I needed to use bot commands in order to resolve the issue.
Added:
from discord.ext import commands
and changed
client = discord.Client()
to
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents = intents)
I think this is what was required to 'fully enable' intents, but I'm not fully sure why this corrected the issue.

So I am making discord bot that removes certain role if u remove certain emoji reaction from message. I enabled my intents both trough discord developers website and code and I still get error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'remove_roles', this is my code
import discord
from discord.utils import get
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = discord.Client(intents = intents)
#client.event
async def on_raw_reaction_remove(payload):
guild = await client.fetch_guild(payload.guild_id)
if payload.emoji.name == "đ„":
member = guild.get_member(payload.user_id)
role = get(guild.roles, id = 861745493049868319)
await member.remove_roles(role)
#client.event
async def on_ready():
print("Bot is online")
client.run()
anyone knows what might be the issue?
The issue doesn't have to do with intents. Its because you are using fetch_guild which does not populate with members, thus your .get_member call is returning None.
Always try to avoid using the fetch methods and try to use the get_x equal.
Also, this behavior is noted on fetch_guild
I'm trying to get the # of all users on server, the bot sees only itself although it responds to the messages of the others.
client = discord.Client()
#client.event
async def on_message(message):
msg=message.content
if message.author == client.user:
return
if msg.startswith("count"):
await message.channel.send(client.users)
The code outputs a list with one user (bot itself)
You need to enable the Intents, they are missing.
Make sure to turn them on in the Discord Developer Portal for your application (Settings -> Bot).
To implement them to your code you can use the following:
intents = discord.Intents.all() # Imports all the Intents
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="YourPrefix", intents=intents)
Or in your case:
intents = discord.Intents.all() # Imports all the Intents
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
You can read more in the Docs here.
Well the issue you're having is because since version 1.5 (not 1.6 as i initially tought, thanks Ćukasz KwieciĆski) discord.py needs you to specify the intents your bot needs in order to receive such information from discord's API.
Your code will work if you change this:
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
For it to work though you'll need to go to your bot's page and enable the members intent.
For what i can see in your code it appears you're trying to make a command, i strongly suggest you start using the commands extension. Your code would look like this:
from discord.ext import commands
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.', intents=intents)
#bot.command()
async def count(ctx):
await ctx.send(bot.users)
bot.run(TOKEN)
The resulting code is more compact, readable and maintainable.

I have tried to make a Discord bot which prints the user joining or leaving to the console. However it seems like it's not triggering my Bot. Here's my code:
Here is my current code
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
#client.event
async def on_ready():
print("Bot is ready")
#client.event
async def on_member_join():
print("{member} hat den Server betreten.")
```#client.event
async def on_member_remove():
print("{member} hat den Server verlassen.")
client.run('My Token')
Can someone please help me?
Events that use on_member_join or others related to member events, must require member intents to be enabled. This works to allow these events to run as they are private and should be used carefully.
Intents can be enabled from Discord developer portal, from there you only need to make sure you have enabled Member in intents within the "Bot" category. You'd then need to define and use the intents in your bot code in the section you define your bot or client:
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='your bot prefix', intents=intents)
I am fixing an old bot from before the intents changes were made and I am trying to just do a simple on_server_join Event but it isn't working, I am not getting any error and assume that this is caused by an issue with intents. I have enabled both privileged intents in the developer portal and tried to implement it into my code however it still isn't functioning correctly.
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import get
intents = discord.Intents(messages=True)
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix ='-', intents=intents)
#client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
channel = client.get_channel(751225399798923315)
print("Person Joined")
await channel.send("Welcome!")
client.run('Token')
Here is a sample of the code any help is appreciated.
You only enabled intents.messages, you need intents.members for any on_member_* event. Also I suggest you simply enabling default intents + intents.members and everything should be working fine.
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix ='-', intents=intents)
Also make sure to enable them in the developer portal
I am trying to generate a list of all of the members in my server:
#client.event
async def on_ready():
for guild in client.guilds:
for member in guild.members:
print(member)
However it is only printing itself and none of the other members. Have I written something wrong or is there something I need to do with the bot?
You need to enable intents.members
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = commands.Bot(..., intents=intents)
# Or if you're using `discord.Client`
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
Also make sure to enable them in the developer portal
