Why is my discord bot returning 'undefined' for the new guild members tag when welcoming them

So I am coding a bot in discord.js and was working on implementing a welcome DM for when a new user joins the guild. Then when I used ${member.tag} is returned undefined, what am I doing wrong. I've been trying to figure this out for 10 minutes now and don't want this to escalate into me trying to figure it out for an hour

Code:

client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {

    member.send(`Hello, ${member.tag}`)

});

There is no tag property on a GuildMember, so your code is expectedly returning undefined. It does, however, exist on a User which you can get from the GuildMember with GuildMember#user.

member.user.tag is what you're looking for.

NOTE: The Discord.js documentation hyperlinked is for recently released v12. If your Discord.js isn't up to date, switch to the correct version at the top of the page for accurate info.

I would give a go to member.displayName

Here is an example that I use

bot.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {

// ADD MEMBER ROLE ON JOIN, this is optional
member.addRole(member.guild.roles.find(role => role.name === "Member"))

const channel = member.guild.channels.find(ch => ch.name === '🛬arrivals')

const welcomeEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
    .setTitle(`New member has arrived`)
    .setColor(0x8A3F3F)
    .setDescription(`Welcome to server, ${member.displayName}!`)

channel.send({ embed: welcomeEmbed })
})

So in your case you can just get rid of the const channel and replace channel.send with member.send
