How can I make a discord bot that will DM new users when they join the server?

So basically I've been working on this one bot for my server, I want it to DM the users that join the server, Like whenever a user joins my server, they would receive a DM by my bot? I have used this code now, but it doesn't seem to work, can anyone help?

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.once('ready', () => {
    console.log('Bot is ready!');


bot.on("guildMemberAdd", member => {
    member.send("Welcome to the server!")
        .catch(console.error);

    });});

client.login('<token>');

With the updated changes (in v14), the enums have changed to Pascal case, and the intents need to be specified like the following:

Intents: Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES -> GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages

This is my code which sends a dm to the user:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Partials } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client(
    { intents: [GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers], partials: [Partials.Channel] });
const token = 'token';

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

client.on('guildMemberAdd', (member) => {
  member.send('Welcome to the server! Feel free to introduce yourself and enjoy your stay.');
});

client.login(token);

Additionally, you need to enable the "Server Members Intent" and "Presence Intent" for your bot in the Discord Developer Portal:

  1. Go to the Discord Developer Portal: https://discord.com/developers/applications Select your application.
  2. Navigate to the "Bot" tab. Scroll down to the "Privileged Gateway Intents" section.
  3. Enable both "Server Members Intent" and "Presence Intent."

you are using wrong way it is client not bot. Cause you are initial your bot as client since const client = new Discord.Client();. And there is no need to wrap it in ready event


const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.once('ready', () => {
    console.log('Bot is ready!');
});

client.on("guildMemberAdd", member => {
    console.log("new member join")
    member.send("Welcome to the server!").catch(console.error);
});


client.login('<token>');
