Get user who deleted a message

On the messageDelete event, is there any way to get the user who deleted the message? I'm trying with audit logs but its not giving anything relevant:

const { EmbedBuilder, AuditLogEvent } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    once: false,
    async execute(message, client) {
        if (message.partial) {
            try {
                message = await message.fetch();
            } catch {
                return;
            }
        }
        if (message.author.bot) return;

        const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setTitle("Message Deleted")
            .setDescription(`**${message.author.toString()}**'s message was deleted in <#${message.channel.id}>`)
            .setColor(client.config.colors.danger)
            .addFields({
                name: "Content",
                value: message.content || "No content",
                inline: false,
            })
            .setFooter({
                text: client.config.footer.text,
                iconURL: client.config.footer.img,
            })
            .setTimestamp();

        let channel = await client.channels.fetch(client.config.channels.memberChannel);

        const fetchedLogs = await message.guild.fetchAuditLogs({
            limit: 1,
            type: AuditLogEvent.MessageDelete,
        });
        const deletionLog = fetchedLogs.entries.first();

        if (deletionLog) {
            const { executor, target, createdAt } = deletionLog;

            const timeDifference = Date.now() - createdAt.getTime();
            const isSameMessage = target.id === message.author.id;

            if (isSameMessage && timeDifference < 5000) {
                embed.addFields({
                    name: "Deleted by",
                    value: executor.tag,
                    inline: true,
                });
            }
        }

        channel.send({ embeds: [embed] });
    },
};

const { EmbedBuilder, AuditLogEvent } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    once: false,
    async execute(message, client) {
        if (message.partial) {
            try {
                message = await message.fetch();
            } catch {
                return;
            }
        }
        if (message.author.bot) return;

        const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setTitle("Message Deleted")
            .setDescription(`**${message.author.toString()}**'s message was deleted in <#${message.channel.id}>`)
            .setColor(client.config.colors.danger)
            .addFields({
                name: "Content",
                value: message.content || "No content",
                inline: false,
            })
            .setFooter({
                text: client.config.footer.text,
                iconURL: client.config.footer.img,
            })
            .setTimestamp();

        let channel = await client.channels.fetch(client.config.channels.memberChannel);

        const fetchedLogs = await message.guild.fetchAuditLogs({
            limit: 1,
            type: AuditLogEvent.MessageDelete,
        });
        const deletionLog = fetchedLogs.entries.first();

        if (deletionLog) {
            const { executor, target, createdAt } = deletionLog;

            const timeDifference = Date.now() - createdAt.getTime();
            const isSameMessage = target.id === message.author.id;

            if (isSameMessage && timeDifference < 5000) {
                embed.addFields({
                    name: "Deleted by",
                    value: executor.tag,
                    inline: true,
                });
            }
        }

        channel.send({ embeds: [embed] });
    },
};

Audit logs are not generated if the author or a bot deleted it

naatthhaanOP•3mo ago

ah I see

Would recommend using the guildAuditLogEntryCreate event for this instead of fetching

naatthhaanOP•3mo ago

is it just better for api calls?

Mark•3mo ago

Yeah, you wouldn't be be making a request every time a message is deleted
