I am making a discord bot using node.js and discord.js, and I am currently trying to make it so that when a user joins the discord server, a custom welcome message is sent. Here is my code:

bot.on("guildMemberAdd" ,(message, member) => {
    message.channel.send("Welcome")
});

This is the error is get:

message.channel.send("Welcome")
                ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'send' of undefined

Thanks for your help.

If you read the documentation, there's is no message parameter, only member. You will have to get the guild's channel ID first.

Try something like this:

bot.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
    member.guild.channels.get('channelID').send("Welcome"); 
});
