    const channel = client.channels.cache.get('906674895239405678');
    channel.send('content');

Wanting to send this basic message to a channel, but this error is produced: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'send'). Please shed some light on this 🙂

grizzled hull The id is invalid

It isn't though?

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:21 PM

#

Not necessarily

#

Is the client logged in and do you have Guilds intent

#

Well GUILDS as this is v13

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:23 PM

#

const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MEMBERS,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_BANS,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_INTEGRATIONS,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_WEBHOOKS,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_INVITES,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_VOICE_STATES,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_PRESENCES,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS,
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGE_TYPING,
    Intents.FLAGS.DIRECT_MESSAGES,
    Intents.FLAGS.DIRECT_MESSAGE_REACTIONS,
    Intents.FLAGS.DIRECT_MESSAGE_TYPING,
  ],
}); //Create client

#

These are my intents

grizzled hull Dec 28, 2022, 8:23 PM

#

Is the client logged in

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:23 PM

#

client.login(token);

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:23 PM

#

ornate remnant ```js const client = new Client({ intents: [ Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Int...

Check client.isReady()

#

And log what it says

#

And show us

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

client.once("ready", () => {
  
    const channel = client.channels.cache.get('906674895239405678');
    channel.send('content');

this?

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

if the code is running inside your ready event then yes, the id is likely incorrect

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

but it cant be?

grizzled hull Dec 28, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

uh yes it can

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:26 PM

#

Well it can be if your ready event is emitting

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

grizzled hull uh yes it can

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:27 PM

#

If you really wanna check

#

const channel = await client.channels.fetch(<id>)

#

And see if it throws an error

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

raven raptor const channel = await client.channels.fetch(`<id>`)

DiscordAPIError: Missing Access

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

Then your bot doesn’t have access to that channel

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:30 PM

#

It has administrator perms?

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:30 PM

#

Idk does it?

grizzled hull Dec 28, 2022, 8:30 PM

#

Are you sure?

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:30 PM

#

Yep

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:31 PM

#

Well it doesn’t lol

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:31 PM

#

#

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:33 PM

#

Definitely the correct id?

#

Check again

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 8:34 PM

#

Just checked, defo the right ID

raven raptor Dec 28, 2022, 8:34 PM

#

Then you either don’t have the correct permissions or the id is still wrong

ornate remnant Dec 28, 2022, 9:21 PM

#

It don’t think it is, but i’ll search around for a solution
