Mentions and/or usernames in embeds

I cant get the embed welome message to return the joining members username. I have tried many ways.

const WelcomeEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
    .setColor(0x0099FF)
    .setDescription('Welcome! <@${user.id}> We are happy to see you join!');

const WelcomeEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
    .setColor(0x0099FF)
    .setDescription('Welcome! <@${user.id}> We are happy to see you join!');

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

    const channelId = '1180601301801910372';
    const channel = client.channels.cache.get(channelId);
    console.log(member)

    if (channel) {

const WelcomeEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
    .setColor(0x0099FF)
    .setDescription('Welcome! <@${user.id}> We are happy to see you join! You are member ${member.guild.memberCount} of the community!\n\nIn order to start posting and see all of our channels you must visit: RULES and react to the post to be elevated to a hatchling.

    .setThumbnail(member.user.avatarURL());


channel.send({ embeds: [WelcomeEmbed] } );

    } else {
        console.error('Channel not found.');
    }
});

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

    const channelId = '1180601301801910372';
    const channel = client.channels.cache.get(channelId);
    console.log(member)

    if (channel) {

const WelcomeEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
    .setColor(0x0099FF)
    .setDescription('Welcome! <@${user.id}> We are happy to see you join!

channel.send({ embeds: [WelcomeEmbed] } );

    } else {
        console.error('Channel not found.');
    }
});

The result looks identical as the .setdescription text. Nothing changes. My member count also does not work.

you use user but never define it

FrankFromH•7mo ago

clearly i am missing something. Thats why i am here. I am new to this, how do i define the user, i did not have to define the member.user.avatarURL. And i am assuming that means some sort of defining the membercount as well?

treble/luna•7mo ago

you really should know how to define stuff its basic js

Thank for the help. Glad this is a place to get help when asking humbly.

1. You are using single quotes (') instead of backticks (

). You need to use backticks if you want to use template literals (which allow you to use variables inside your string)

2. As wolvinny said, user is not defined. To get a user's ID, you can do

member.id` 3. Notice how this forum channel name is djs-questions and not js-questions? That's because your issue is NOT related to discord.js, but more to Javascript.... If you have problems with Javascript in the future, please use #other-js-ts

Thank you I wanted to thank you again. I’m learning. How to do stuff on my own and your answer was far more helpful. I will make sure I post in the right area I didn’t really.s it was the wrong area. I was able to fix it with your help and it’s working as it should.
