I want to have a discord bot for my server that logs deleted messages in a specific channel. I have tried but I'm new to coding this is what I came up with and it doesn't work. The code is shown below:

async def on_message_delete(message):
    embed=discord.Embed(title="{} deleted a message".format(member.name.message), description="", color="teal")
    embed.add_field(name= message.content ,value="Deleted message", inline=True)
    channel=bot.get_channel(channel_id)
    await channel.send(embed=embed)

Can anyone tell me what's wrong and the correct code please, it would be greatly appreciated and how to do logging for edited messages too

    Well, what does not work? Be more specific please and maybe add a traceback if possible. – Dominik May 28 '21 at 19:26

    Welcome to Stack Overflow! Please take a look at what's expected of a [minimal, reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example). Not only do we not know what incorrect result you're currently getting, we can't test your code without writing the rest of it ourselves. – CrazyChucky May 28 '21 at 20:01
  • It says "NameError: name 'member' is not defined" @Dominik – Iris XE May 29 '21 at 20:59
  • Well, look at your code. You're trying to access `member.name.message`, but you haven't defined `member`. (Note that this still isn't a reproducible example and you haven't shown the full stack trace, so there may be other issues, but we have no way of knowing.) – CrazyChucky May 29 '21 at 21:18
  • How do i define "member" @CrazyChucky – Iris XE May 29 '21 at 21:20
  • For the purposes of this site, you should start by reading [How to Create a Minimal, Reproducible Example](https://stackoverflow.com/help/minimal-reproducible-example), if you haven't already. Then edit your question so that you provide one. We don't necessarily need your entire *actual* code, but we do need a self-contained, runnable "test case", if you will, that generates the same problem you're having. And a full stack trace (the "in line __" stuff), not just the error message. – CrazyChucky May 29 '21 at 21:29
  • (Note: one exception to the usual rule that the provided code should be complete, such that we can copy and paste it and run it as-is, is that you *should not* include your Discord bot's unique token.) Here's a decent [example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67453633/how-to-snipe-messages-from-a-specific-channel-discord-py) of what a "complete" (testable) Discord bot MRE looks like. (There's no stack trace because they weren't getting a exception, just incorrect behavior.) – CrazyChucky May 29 '21 at 21:29

Take a look to this code:

@bot.event
async def on_message_delete(message):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="{}'s message deleted.".format(message.author.name), #message.author is sender of the message
        description=message.content,
        color="teal"
    )
    channel=bot.get_channel(log_channel_id)
    await channel.send(embed=embed)
