The same way you would normally send a message.

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

(channel as ForumChannel).send()

(channel as ForumChannel).send()

a ForumChannel has threads (a collection of ThreadChannels) you can send messages to individual threads or you can create a new thread

oh right my bad and i get the thread id and use it to fetch the channel using <channel>.threads.fetch

msg = await (channel as ForumChannel).threads.create({ name: post.jobTitle, message: {embeds: [embed], components: [btnRow]}, appliedTags: tags});
                    (channel as ForumChannel).threads.fetch(msg.id).then()

msg = await (channel as ForumChannel).threads.create({ name: post.jobTitle, message: {embeds: [embed], components: [btnRow]}, appliedTags: tags});
                    (channel as ForumChannel).threads.fetch(msg.id).then()

sounds about right i'd rename msg to newThread, and you don't need to fetch it again create will return the newly created ThreadChannel

thank you Here's my working code for anyone in the future

newThread = await (channel as ForumChannel).threads.create({ name: post.jobTitle, message: {embeds: [embed], components: [btnRow]}, appliedTags: tags});
(channel as ForumChannel).threads.fetch(newThread.id).then(thread => {thread?.send({content: 'Hello World!'})})

newThread = await (channel as ForumChannel).threads.create({ name: post.jobTitle, message: {embeds: [embed], components: [btnRow]}, appliedTags: tags});
(channel as ForumChannel).threads.fetch(newThread.id).then(thread => {thread?.send({content: 'Hello World!'})})
