Create discord bot to welcome new members

Here's a step-by-step guide to creating a Discord bot that welcomes new members:

Step 1: Create a Discord Bot Account

Go to the Discord Developer Portal (https://discord.com/developers/applications) and log in with your Discord account.
Click on the "New Application" button.
Give your application a name and click "Create".
Go to the "Bot" tab and click "Add Bot".
Give your bot a name and click "Save Changes".

Step 2: Create a Welcome Message

Create a new message in your Discord server that you want to use as the welcome message.
Use the following format: Welcome to [Server Name], [Member Name]! We're glad you're here!

Step 3: Set up the Bot

Go back to the Discord Developer Portal and click on the "OAuth2" tab.
Select the "bot" scope and click "Authorize".
Copy the bot token and save it in a secure location (you'll need it later).

Step 4: Write the Bot Code

You'll need to write a bot in a programming language like JavaScript or Python. For this example, we'll use JavaScript.

Create a new file called bot.js and add the following code:

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

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

client.on('guildMemberAdd', (member) => {
  const welcomeMessage = `Welcome to ${member.guild.name}, ${member.user.username}! We're glad you're here!`;
  member.send(welcomeMessage);
});

client.login('YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE');

Replace YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE with the bot token you copied earlier.

Step 5: Run the Bot

Install the discord.js library by running npm install discord.js in your terminal.
Run the bot by running node bot.js in your terminal.

Step 6: Invite the Bot to Your Server

Go back to the Discord Developer Portal and click on the "OAuth2" tab.
Select the "bot" scope and click "Authorize".
Copy the bot invite link and send it to your server administrators.

Step 7: Test the Bot

Invite the bot to your server.
Test the welcome message by adding a new member to your server.

That's it! Your bot should now welcome new members to your server with a custom message.

Note: Make sure to keep your bot token secure and don't share it with anyone. If you lose your bot token, you'll need to create a new bot and invite it to your server again.
