is there a good way to respond to user dm once

Say a user dms my bot. I would like to respond to the user a specified message, if met the conditions: If the specified message is different from the last message If the last message does not exist

I see. What if the message content has like new lines and other special characters. Would such still be comparable well?

Ah okay. Wait but. If I need to filter for the first message from the bot, how would I do that?

const messages = await message.channel.messages.fetch({ limit: 100 })
const firstMessage = messages.filter(message => message.author.id == NewClient.user.id).first()

if (firstMessage === data.DMMessage) return;

const messages = await message.channel.messages.fetch({ limit: 100 })

You could use a MessageCollector which has the capability to filter events (for example certain userId or certain value) and limit the amount of messages that will be captured to one for example. I think you have to listen on the "messageCreate" Event beforehand and create a MessageCollector after you received a message. You have to limit the lifespan of the MessageCollectorby supplying one of the option keys: - time: Amount of time in milliseconds the collector should run for - max: Number of messages to successfully pass the filter - maxProcessed: Number of messages encountered (no matter the filter result) Just as an Idea (might be bad practice :D) If you wanna know more about MessageCollectors read the Guide: https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/collectors.html#basic-message-collector You can find a good list on when to use which Interaction Handling here: https://discordjs.guide/message-components/interactions.html#component-interactions
