How to create invite when bot joins server

I am trying to create a discord bot and I want it to create an invite to any server it joins. All I need help with is one line of code. I need to actually create the invite but I get:

Atribute Error: 'Guild' object has no attribute 'channel'

It happens on this line:

invite = await guild.channel.create_invite(reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True)

The full block:

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    invite = await guild.channel.create_invite(reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True)
    
    with open("invites.json", "r") as f:
        invites = json.load(f)

    invites[guild.name] = invite # This line might have an issue but i havent got to test it yet

    with open("invites.json", "w") as f:
        json.dump(invites, f)

I know how to create an invite with a command but theres no ctx on on_guild_join (i dont think). Would i just have to add 'ctx' somewhere in the event arguments?

there is an issue with your code that is explained in the Error you are getting. You are trying to get a channel from a Guild, although they are stored by another name text_channels. You can access this list and select any one, and then create_invite on the particular channel.

Here is how your code should look like:

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    invite = await guild.text_channels[0].create_invite(reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True)

    print(invite)
    with open("invites.json", "r") as f:
        invites = json.load(f)

    invites[guild.name] = invite
    with open("invites.json", "w") as f:
        json.dump(invites, f)

You need to specify channle to create an invite. For example:

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    try:
        invite = await guild.text_channels[0].create_invite(reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True)
    except IndexError:
        pass

This code creates an invite to the first of text channels in guild.

Hey i know its old post but i found an answer for this problem (Its workin for me so..)

Its easy, you can use the code that @Monka posted. But you need to edit this line

invites[guild.name] = invite

to:

invites[str(guild.name)] = invite

New to stackoverflow so sorry for formatting.. Hope you understand it :D
