- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

id might be wrong
try console logging channel and see what you get
how do i do that?
console.log(channel) ?oooh sorry
its returning undefined
well then either channel is not cached or id is wrong or bot doesn't have access
well the bot does have access and i checked the id and its right so i guess its not cached
how to i cache it? (sorry i only started coding in javascript and discord.js yestarday)
oh figured it out
and the message was sent correctly, thank you!
