Using Slash Command to send a message in a different chat and I want to capture the response

Hey I have this code that once a process is finished I'll notify the result in a different channel and I want to collect the first response of this other channel to continue to another step. How to await for the response and store the data?

if (notify) {
            client.channels.fetch(cat.channel).then(channel => {
                channel.send({
                    content: `:megaphone: **New update!**\n\n${cat.emoji} [${cat.name}] ${map.author} - ${map.code} - ${status.description}\n${map.picture}`
                })
            });
        }

if (notify) {
            client.channels.fetch(cat.channel).then(channel => {
                channel.send({
                    content: `:megaphone: **New update!**\n\n${cat.emoji} [${cat.name}] ${map.author} - ${map.code} - ${status.description}\n${map.picture}`
                })
            });
        }

Create a variable from the returned (and awaited) value of channel.send()

d.js docs•4mo ago

:method: TextChannel#send @14.15.3 Sends a message to this channel.

// Send a basic message
channel.send('hello!')
  .then(message => console.log(`Sent message: ${message.content}`))
  .catch(console.error);

// Send a basic message
channel.send('hello!')
  .then(message => console.log(`Sent message: ${message.content}`))
  .catch(console.error);

:method: TextChannel#awaitMessages @14.15.3 Similar to createMessageCollector but in promise form. Resolves with a collection of messages that pass the specified filter.

// Await !vote messages
const filter = m => m.content.startsWith('!vote');
// Errors: ['time'] treats ending because of the time limit as an error
channel.awaitMessages({ filter, max: 4, time: 60_000, errors: ['time'] })
  .then(collected => console.log(collected.size))
  .catch(collected => console.log(`After a minute, only ${collected.size} out of 4 voted.`));

// Await !vote messages
const filter = m => m.content.startsWith('!vote');
// Errors: ['time'] treats ending because of the time limit as an error
channel.awaitMessages({ filter, max: 4, time: 60_000, errors: ['time'] })
  .then(collected => console.log(collected.size))
  .catch(collected => console.log(`After a minute, only ${collected.size} out of 4 voted.`));

gonna test it guys, thank you it worked @Qjuh, thanks a lot

const commandChannel = await client.channels.fetch(command);
        await commandChannel.send({
            content: `%xero ${code}`
        });

        const filter = m => m.content.includes(code);

        const collectedMapInfo = await commandChannel.awaitMessages({ filter, max: 1, time: 20_000, errors: ['time'] });

        if (!collectedMapInfo) {
            await interaction.editReply({ content: `Oops! Something went wront. Time out trying to get Map Info from Sharpiebot`, ephemeral: true });
            return;
        }

const commandChannel = await client.channels.fetch(command);

        const collectedMapInfo = await commandChannel.awaitMessages({ filter, max: 1, time: 20_000, errors: ['time'] });

        if (!collectedMapInfo) {
            await interaction.editReply({ content: `Oops! Something went wront. Time out trying to get Map Info from Sharpiebot`, ephemeral: true });
            return;
        }
