Receiving button interactions

Hello there, I'd like some help regarding button interactions. I know how to build a button row and send it (see code below) But I don't know how to receive interactions from it... I've read this page : https://discordjs.guide/interactions/buttons.html#receiving-button-interactions But still. So if someone can help a bit with that, it'd be appreciated ! :)

I'm having trouble finding out where to put my code, as I already have an interaction handler in my index.js for command (/) interactions and it then triggers the right command (which is in its own file) But as we're not talking about slash commands here, I'm not sure how to setup my file, what should I put instead of this : 
module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
For the functions which should be called on my button interaction thank you, I think it's more clear now, I'll give it a try and let you know if I finally got it :) 2nd option, should I export the customId in a data : ? Then what class should I use instead of SlashCommandBuilder ? Something like this then ? 
module.exports = {
    customId : "",
    
    async execute(interaction) {
        
    }
}
module.exports = {
    customId : "",
    
    async execute(interaction) {
        
    }
}
Then I have an error when deploying commands : 
commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
                             ^
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toJSON')
commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
                             ^
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toJSON')
Do I need to deploy it or is it useless and I should rather put the button files in a separate folder ? okay thanks

ok so it looks like it's working (logs + rôle added correctly) but I still get this :

well I handle it like that : 
} else if (interaction.isButton()) {
    // Buttons
    const button = interaction.client.buttons.get(interaction.customId);

    // Check if the button exists
    if (!button) {
        console.error(`No button matching ${interaction.customId} was found.`);
        return;
    }

    try {
        // Execute the button function
        await button.execute(interaction);
        // Log
        console.log(`Button ${interaction.customId} executed by ${interaction.user.tag} in ${interaction.guild.name} at ${interaction.createdAt}`);

    } catch (error) {
      // Catch and log any errors
      console.error(error);
      if (interaction.replied || interaction.deferred) {
        await interaction.followUp({ content: "Il semblerait qu'il y ait eu une erreur...", ephemeral: true });
      } else {
        await interaction.reply({ content: 'Une erreur est survenue !', ephemeral: true });
      }
    }
} else if (interaction.isButton()) {
    // Buttons
    const button = interaction.client.buttons.get(interaction.customId);

    // Check if the button exists
    if (!button) {
        console.error(`No button matching ${interaction.customId} was found.`);
        return;
    }

    try {
        // Execute the button function
        await button.execute(interaction);
        // Log
        console.log(`Button ${interaction.customId} executed by ${interaction.user.tag} in ${interaction.guild.name} at ${interaction.createdAt}`);

    } catch (error) {
      // Catch and log any errors
      console.error(error);
      if (interaction.replied || interaction.deferred) {
        await interaction.followUp({ content: "Il semblerait qu'il y ait eu une erreur...", ephemeral: true });
      } else {
        await interaction.reply({ content: 'Une erreur est survenue !', ephemeral: true });
      }
    }
oh I didn't know I needed an interaction.reply(), I just added one anyway thank you again !

Responding to interactions: • #reply immediately respond with a message • #update immediately update the original message (buttons, select menus) • #showModal immediately show a modal (cannot be deferred) • #deferReply/Update respond later (up to 15 minutes) • #followUp post an additional message The initial response has to happen within 3s of receiving the interaction!

got it :) oh and, as we're here, I'd like to move my handlers code to a dedicated file in a handlers folder (just so the code is cleaner) but I don't really know how to do that (I want to move those : https://discord.com/channels/222078108977594368/1089990904451960903/1090355280090509424) My problem is that I don't know how to exactly setup the file and have the index.js to run them correctly before login
