Hey, is it possible to send a message in a certain channel with the bot = discord.Bot()

i want to send a message when my code crashes thats running, i was hoping there was a bot.send_message(), so i can send messages outside of slash commands

You need to get the channel and then send the message to it

#

you can use

channel = bot.get_channel(channelid)
await channel.send("Message")```

yeah, you can use discord.utils.get for that: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/utils.html#discord.utils.get
