Discord Py bot dms server owner when he joins the server-CodePudding

So i want that the bot dms the server owner when it get added to the server.

Here is the code:

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild, ctx):
  guild_owner = client.get_user(int(ctx.guild.owner.id))
  await guild_owner.send("hi")

But I always get this one error:

TypeError: on_guild_join() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

I know what that means but i dont know how to fix that.

I don't know if this relates to you but you can check this guys answer to a similar question stackoverflow flow answer

CodePudding user response：

First of all, as mousetail has said, on_guild_join only takes one argument. You should only have guild as the function's argument. Secondly, since you're using a guild object, you should already be able to access the guild's owner through guild.owner. Do view the revised code below.

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    try:
        await guild.owner.send("I'm now in your server!")
    except: # occurs if your bot cannot send dm to the owner
        print(f"{guild.owner} has their dms turned off")
