Discord.py: Message on Startup?

[adhoc92]

Is it possible for my bot to send a message to my channel when it is started up?

Right now, I'm using:

@bot.group(pass_context=True)
async def casey(ctx):

if ctx.invoked_subcommand is None:
    await bot.say("Hi, I am a bot!".format(ctx))`

That works fine for prompting a response, but after messing around with it, I can't figure out to get my bot to send a message without being prompted.

You can use discord.on_ready.

Here's an example:

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    server = client.get_server("server id")
    await bot.send_message(server.get_channel("channel id"), "Message content")

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I'm getting this error:

AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'get_server'

You'd have to use the client, so bot.get_server in your case (since the
discord module has no function called get_server). You can also bypass
server.get_channel by using bot.get_channel.

That worked perfectly. Thank you!

I would like to bump this issue back up to life with the 1.0 rewrite.
I can't for the life of me get a message to send once the bot has loaded.

Please don't necrobump issues.
For help using the library, you should join either the official discord.py server or the Discord API server, as the README also links.
