Is there a way to grab the ID of the current channel a message is sent? I would like to store the channel ID in a variable I set already. Just need to grab the id of the channel where my message is sent
Use message.channel.id, when you receive a message that is resulted from a client.on("message", message => {}) event, you can call message.channel.id from it's property, for more explanations, read the docs here. An example of it would be:
client.on("message", message => {
// The channel id can be received through `message.channel.id` and is stored in the variable `messageChannelId`
const messageChannelId = message.channel.id;
// This will log in the console the id of the channel that it's being sent from
console.log(messageChannelId);
})
If you would like to see how a message event is constructed, use instead:
client.on("message", message => {
// Logs in the console the `message` property
console.log(message);
})
If you would like to see how a message.channel property looks like, use:
client.on("message", message => {
// Logs in the console the `message.channel` prroperty
console.log(message.channel);
})
You can call on the channel property of the message object (referring to the channel the message was sent in). From there, you have access to the entire TextChannel object!
message.channel.name; // name of channel
message.channel.guild; // guild the channel's in
message.channel.topic; // topic of the channel
message.channel.parent; // category of which the channel is in
message.channel.id; // and finally, the id of the channel
For a message event, use the message object and get its guild.
Like so:
client.on('message', async message => {
var channel = message.channel;
})
Here is the documentation for Channel: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Channel

i'm currently working on a Discord.js bot and i want that i get the id or name of the user which added the bot to the guild.
I want that the person which added the bot gets a DM.
Thanks for the answers!
client.on("guildCreate", guild => { // This event fires when a guild is created or when the bot is added to a guild.
guild.fetchAuditLogs({type: "BOT_ADD", limit: 1}).then(log => { // Fetching 1 entry from the AuditLogs for BOT_ADD.
log.entries.first().executor.send(`Thank you for adding me to ${guild.name}!`).catch(e => console.error(e)); // Sending the message to the executor.
});
});
I'm trying to send an embed message to an specific channel with a sharded bot.
I've achieved sending a simple message successfully with this code:
client.shard.broadcastEval(`
(async () => {
let channel = await this.channels.get("683353482748756047");
channel.send("Hello")
})()
`)
The problem starts when I want to send an embed message. I've tried passing the variable like this:
//exampleEmbed is created
client.shard.broadcastEval(`
(async () => {
let channel = await this.channels.get("683353482748756047");
channel.send('${exampleEmbed}')
})()
`)
but the message is sent like "[object Object]".
I thought about returning the channel object back outside of broadcastEval and then sending my variable, but I've read this is not possible because you can't return full discord objects.
How should I send the embed message? Thank you for your time.
Okay, I solved it by creating the embed message inside the broadcastEval, and using the '${}' syntax to poblate it.
Example:
client.shard.broadcastEval(`
(async () => {
const Discord = require('discord.js');
let channel = await this.channels.get("683353482748756047");
if(channel){
//if shard has this server, then continue.
let message = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setThumbnail(this.user.displayAvatarURL)
.setTitle('Title')
.addField("Something useful:", '${useful}')
.addField("Another useful thing:", '${useful2}')
.setTimestamp()
channel.send(message)
}
})()
So basically I want to make bot able to send a message to every user that is in the same guild as a bot, I want to make it with a timeout, so I don't abuse Discord API.
Sending DM's using setTimeout would take forever so I filtered guilds with a channel named auto-partnership
setTimeout(() => {
let channel = client.channels.cache.filter(channel => channel.name.toLowerCase() === "auto-partnership")
channel.forEach(channel => {
channel.send( "test")
})
}, 5000);
A bot is sending test message to every guild with a channel named auto-partnership
This is my first time using js. I need to ban a certain word in a certain channel. I don't want the message to be deleted if it is not in the specific channel.
For Example:
I want to ban the word "goodbye" in the #greeting channel
BUT
I don't want to ban the word "goodbye" In the #farewell channel
How would I go about this?
Thanks.
By the way I wanted to use example code, but none of it made any sense.
I wrote a simple example for you on how to achieve this:
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const Client = new Discord.Client();
const ForbiddenWords = {
"ChannelID": ["goodbaye", "bye"] // Greeting channel
};
Client.on("ready", () => {
console.log(`${Client.user.tag} is ready!`);
});
Client.on("message", (message) => { // Fired when the bot detects a new message.
if (message.author.bot) {return false}; // Checking if the message author is a bot.
if (ForbiddenWords[message.channel.id]) { // Checking if the current channel has any forbidden words in the ForbiddenWords Object
if (ForbiddenWords[message.channel.id].some(word => message.content.toString().toLowerCase().includes(word))) { // Checking if the message contains any forbidden words
message.delete(); // Deleting the message.
};
};
});
Client.login(process.env.DISCORD_AUTH_TOKEN);
I want to know who is the inviter of the bot but I don't find anything on the documentation or on forum.
If someone has an idea :/
EDIT
Recently discord added an entry in guild audit logs that log everytime someone adds a bot into the server, so you can use it to know who added the bot.
Example:
// client needs to be instance of Discord.Client
// Listen to guildCreate event
client.on("guildCreate", async guild => {
// Fetch audit logs
const logs = await guild.fetchAuditLogs()
// Find a BOT_ADD log
const log = logs.entries.find(l => l.action === "BOT_ADD" && l.target.id === client.user.id)
// If the log exits, send message to it's executor
if(log) log.executor.send("Thanks for adding the bot")
})

The discord API doesn't allow this.
But, you can send a message to the Owner of the guild using the property guild.owner to get it
client.on('guildCreate', guild => {
guild.owner.send('Message here').catch(e => {
// Can't message to this user
})
})
