Output a message to any channel

Please tell me how I can display a message in any channel of any server? I mean like:

const channel = client.channels.cache.get("1217194699664291602");
message.channel.send('The Bot is working!')

const channel = client.channels.cache.get("1217194699664291602");
message.channel.send('The Bot is working!')

P.S. Please, attach a code example, I'm just learning)

you mean every channel? or a specific channel

iFel1xOP•10mo ago

I mean the channel that I will indicate by ID

d.js docs•10mo ago

const channel = client.channels.cache.get("222086648706498562");
const channel = guild.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name === "general");

const channel = client.channels.cache.get("222086648706498562");
const channel = guild.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name === "general");

- Caches in discord.js are Collections which extend the native Map structure. - learn more

I mean you already have that in your code you just gotta use it

iFel1xOP•10mo ago

ahmood•10mo ago

What am I supposed to do with that

iFel1xOP•10mo ago

channel id is valid. I just change it at the 1st post

ahmood•10mo ago

Do you have the Guilds intent?

iFel1xOP•10mo ago

my script:

const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits, Message } = require('discord.js');
const token = process.env.DS_TOKEN;
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent] });
client.once(Events.ClientReady, c => {
    console.log(`DiscordBOT ready! Logged in as ${c.user.tag}`);
});
client.login(process.env.DS_TOKEN);
const channel = client.channels.cache.get("1217094699664281602");
channel.send('The Bot is working!');

const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits, Message } = require('discord.js');
const token = process.env.DS_TOKEN;
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent] });
client.once(Events.ClientReady, c => {
    console.log(`DiscordBOT ready! Logged in as ${c.user.tag}`);
});
client.login(process.env.DS_TOKEN);
const channel = client.channels.cache.get("1217094699664281602");
channel.send('The Bot is working!');

You're trying to access the channel before the bot is ready, put the channel send stuff inside the ready listener

iFel1xOP•10mo ago

Can you give an example of how to do this?

ahmood•10mo ago

It's really not hard, put this code inside the ready listener, which you're already listening for

iFel1xOP•10mo ago

It really works. Thanks a lot!
