Answer 1

You are attempting to send a message to a channel by calling the .send() method. However, you are calling the method on a string. The send() method only exists on text based channels . To send a message to a specific channel, replace your message sending code with this

client.on("guildMemberAdd", members => {
 client.channels.cache.get("REPLACE WITH CHANNEL ID").send("message")
});

client.on("guildMemberRemove", members => {
 client.channels.cache.get("REPLACE WITH OTHER CHANNEL ID").send(" other message")
});

If the above does not work, try this: (works without cache)

client.on("guildMemberAdd", async (member) => {
 const channel = await client.channels.fetch("REPLACE WITH CHANNEL ID")
 channel.send(`${member.user.username}, welcome`)
});

client.on("guildMemberRemove", async (member) => {
 const channel = await client.channels.fetch("REPLACE WITH OTHER CHANNEL ID")
 channel.send(`${member.user.username} has left`)
});

You should be getting the channel using this . If you already have the channel in cache (something happened in the channel after the bot started), you can use the channels cache as well.
