TypeScript GuildText Channel Type help

I am attempting to fetch a channel to send a welcome message in my guildMemberAdd event. However, I am getting this type error:

Property 'send' does not exist on type 'GuildBasedChannel'.
  Property 'send' does not exist on type 'CategoryChannel'.ts(2339)

Property 'send' does not exist on type 'GuildBasedChannel'.
  Property 'send' does not exist on type 'CategoryChannel'.ts(2339)

Here is my event:

import { Events, GuildMember, EmbedBuilder } from "discord.js";
import { Event } from "../interfaces";

const event: Event = {
    name: Events.GuildMemberAdd,
    execute: async (client, member: GuildMember) => {
        if (!member || member == null) return;

        const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
        .setTitle('New Member Joined')
        .addFields(
            { name: 'Member', value: member.user.username, inline: true },
            { name: 'Member ID', value: member.id, inline: true })
        .setColor("Green")
        .setFooter({ text: `${client.user?.username}` })

        const channel = member.guild.channels.cache.get("1060224954035081276");
        if (channel) {
            channel.send({ embeds: [embed] })
        }
    }
}

import { Events, GuildMember, EmbedBuilder } from "discord.js";
import { Event } from "../interfaces";

const event: Event = {
    name: Events.GuildMemberAdd,
    execute: async (client, member: GuildMember) => {
        if (!member || member == null) return;

        const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
        .setTitle('New Member Joined')
        .addFields(
            { name: 'Member', value: member.user.username, inline: true },
            { name: 'Member ID', value: member.id, inline: true })
        .setColor("Green")
        .setFooter({ text: `${client.user?.username}` })

        const channel = member.guild.channels.cache.get("1060224954035081276");
        if (channel) {
            channel.send({ embeds: [embed] })
        }
    }
}

you have to type that channel as TextChannel or check it at run time with channel.type === ChannelType.GuildText since you have the id and you probably know the type this channel is then use the first suggestion
