How do I send a direct message to someone when they join a server with discord.py

I'm writing a bot for my discord server and I want to send an automatic direct message to anyone who joins the server for the first time. I have looked through the documentation and I can't find anything about how to do this. I am using python 3.5 and discord.py version 0.16.12.

this should work if you are using the discord py rewrite make sure you have enabled intents for the bot as shown in this picture member intents enable

intents=discord.Intents.all()
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix= cmd,intents=intents)
@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    await member.send(f"your welcome message here")

You can do something along the lines of:

await bot.send_message(member, "hello")
