How do I make a discord bot welcome command and leave command

Question

I want to create an embedded welcome command and leave command. I would like an embedded DMS message for the person who joined the server.

This is the code I have so far:

const fs = require('fs');
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const {
  prefix,
  token
} = require('./config.json');

const client = new Discord.Client();
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();

const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
  const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
  client.commands.set(command.name, command);
}

const cooldowns = new Discord.Collection();

client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
  if (!member.guild) return;
  let guild = member.guild
  let channel = guild.channels.cache.find(c => c.name === "welcome");
  let membercount = guild.members
  if (!channel) return;
  let embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed().setColor("GREEN").setTitle("New Server Member!").setDescription(`Welcome, ${member.user.tag} to **${guild.name}!**`).setThumbnail(member.user.displayAvatarURL()).setFooter(`You are the ${membercount}th member to join`);
  message.guild.channels.cache.find(i => i.name === 'sp').send(embed)
});

client.on("ready", () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
  client.user.setPresence({
      status: "idle", //You can show online, idle....       activity: {
      name: "with lower lifeforms!", //The message shown            type: "PLAYING", // url: "" //PLAYING: WATCHING: LISTENING: STREAMING:
    }
  });
});

client.on('message', message => {
  if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;

  const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/);
  const commandName = args.shift().toLowerCase();
  const command = client.commands.get(commandName) || client.commands.find.Discord(cmd => cmd.aliases && cmd.aliases.includes(commandName));

  if (!command) return;

  if (command.guildOnly && message.channel.type === 'dm') {
    return message.reply('I can\'t execute that command inside DMs!');
  }

  if (command.args && !args.length) {
    let reply = `You didn't provide any arguments, ${message.author}!`;

    if (command.usage) {
      reply += `\nThe proper usage would be: \`${prefix}${command.name} ${command.usage}\``;
    }
    return message.channel.send(reply);
  }

  if (!cooldowns.has(command.name)) {
    cooldowns.set(command.name, new Discord.Collection());
  }
  const now = Date.now();
  const timestamps = cooldowns.get(command.name);
  const cooldownAmount = (command.cooldown || 3) * 1000;
  if (timestamps.has(message.author.id)) {
    if (timestamps.has(message.author.id)) {
      const expirationTime = timestamps.get(message.author.id) + cooldownAmount;
      timestamps.set(message.author.id, now);
      setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(message.author.id), cooldownAmount);
      if (now < expirationTime) {
        const timeLeft = (expirationTime - now) / 1000;
        return message.reply(`please wait ${timeLeft.toFixed(1)} more second(s) before reusing the \`${command.name}\` command.`);
      }
    }
  }

  try {
    command.execute(message, args);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    message.reply('there was an error trying to execute that command!');
  }
});

client.login(token);

Now on Discord, you will need to enable intents. To do this, go to the Discord Developer Portal , select your application, and go onto the Bot tab. If you scroll about half way down, you'll see a section called Privileged Gateway Intents . You need to tick Server Members Intent under that title. For what you're doing, Presence Intent shouldn't be required, but you can tick it in case you do ever need it.
