How to Pin a Message in Discord - discord

Question

I am trying to make a discord bot for a small server that I am in, and I want it to pin a certain message to the channel that it was sent in. I have done a few bots before, but it seems that the syntax has changed since I last used it, and code that I was going to reuse no longer works. I have managed to get around some of those changes (like the intents,) but when I try to check for a sent message, it just does nothing. My current code
const { Client, Intents } = require("discord.js");
const { token } = require("./config.json");
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS] });
client.once("ready", () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});
client.on("message", (msg) => {
if (msg.content == "something goes here") {
msg.pin()
}
});
client.login(token);
I have tried supplementing messageCreate for message like I have seen a few people recommend, but it still seems to do nothing. Even changing the msg.pin() to console.log(msg) still shows nothing in the console
client.on("messageCreate", (msg) => {
if (msg.content == "something goes here") {
console.log(msg)
}
});
I do have the privileged intent toggle enabled, so I don't think that that is the problem
[privileged toggles]
Does anybody know what the problem here is, and how I could fix it? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Answer 1

First of all, you have not enabled the GUILD_MESSAGES intent in your client so you need to add that by doing this:
const client = new Client({
intents: [
Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS
Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES
]
});
Other than that, the .pin() function is still there and there is no change in it. You can provide a reason as well. The .pin() function also returns a promise, so you will have to use .then() or await, so your final code might look like this:
const { Client, Intents } = require("discord.js");
const { token } = require("./config.json");
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });
client.once("ready", () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});
client.on("message", (msg) => {
if (msg.content == "something goes here") {
msg.pin().then(() => console.log)
}
});
client.login(token);

For Discord.js v13 use the following:
const { Client } = require("discord.js");
const { token } = require("./config.json");
const client = new Client({
intents: new Intents(32767)
});
client.login(token)
client.on("message", (ctx) => {
if (ctx.content == "something goes here") {
ctx.pin(ctx.id, "Pinned")
}
});
