How to get just the id of a channel - discord

Question

I have a script where a user can specify a channel to be the welcome channel and it will save the channel in quick.db but when I want to send an embed to the specified channel it won't let me. So I console.log()
and I saw that it returned everything.
TextChannel {

The method I used to get the channel
Client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
console.log(db.get(`wl_channel`))
const welcome = db.get(`wl_YN${member.guild.id}`)
const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setTitle(`Welcome ***${member.displayName}***`)
.setColor("#2163D7")
.addFields({ name: `**${member.displayName}**`, value: 'Please read the **rules**'},{ name: `You are our ` , value: `***${member.guild.memberCount}*** th member!`})
.setImage(member.user.avatarURL())
.setThumbnail(member.user.avatarURL())
if(welcome === true){
console.log(member.guild.channels.cache.get(db.get(`wl_channel`).id))
}
});
How I saved the channel
db.set(`wl_channel`, message.mentions.channels.first().id)
Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

Store the channels name in the database:
db.set(`wl_channel`, message.mentions.channels.first().name)
Then obtain the channel using the following:
Client.on('guildMemberAdd', member => {
console.log(db.get(`wl_channel`))
let welcomeChannel = db.get(`wl_channel`)
const welcome = db.get(`wl_YN${member.guild.id}`)
const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setTitle(`Welcome ***${member.displayName}***`)
.setColor("#2163D7")
.addFields({ name: `**${member.displayName}**`, value: 'Please read the **rules**'},{ name: `You are our ` , value: `***${member.guild.memberCount}*** th member!`})
.setImage(member.user.avatarURL())
.setThumbnail(member.user.avatarURL())
if(welcome === true){
let channel = message.channels.find(channel => channel.name === welcomeChannel);
channel.send(embed);
}
});
