Why is Async function not being executed in python

Question

import discord
intent=discord.Intents.default()
intent.members=True
client=discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
@client.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    guild=client.get_guild(ServerID)
    channel=guild.get_channel(ChannelID)
    await channel.send(f'Welcome to the server{member.mention}! :D')
    await member.send(f'Welcome to the {guild.name} server,{member.name}! :D')
    print(f'Welcome to the {guild.name} server,{member.name}! :D')
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

Why is my join function not being executed when someone joins my discord server ? i have given all the permission as well that is needed to msg in the specific channel but it seems that it never even calls the function Edit: I changed it to on_member_join it still doesn't work

Please read the docs for the library. The event isn't called "join". — Taku

Your code for creating your client isn't complete. You have to assign the intents along with it, such as down below.

client=discord.Client(intents = intent)

In fact, I would recommend you look at the bot part of the discord.py documentation in order to setup the client with the necessary attributes for a discord bot.

(Also I'm going to assume you have the variables of ServerID and ChannelID saved somewhere else in the code, I just wanted to help the issue of triggering the on_member_join at all).

join is an invalid event listener name in discord.py. Try changing the function's name to on_member_join.
