Conditional statements with wait_for for user authentication - discord

Question

I am trying to make a 'gatekeeper-like' function in which I must approve or reject something.
def confirm(m):
return m.author == 'my id' m.content == 'confirm' or m.content == 'Confirm'
def deny(m)
return m.author == 'my id' and m.content == 'deny' or m.content == 'Deny'
auth = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=confirm)
deauth = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=deny)
await target.send("```ini\n[Authenticated.]```".format(auth))
await target.send("```ini\n[Denied.]```.format(deauth)"
The problem here is simply that I am not sure how I would go about making an if else statement in the function.
Possible Solutions
I am assuming that the if else statement would be a product of mixing both the confirm and deny functions in to one?
upon looking at the API reference I see that wait_for takes in these arguments: event, *, check=None, timeout=None
what I am assuming could be done is using try: and an exception like asyncio.CancelledError
Any help would be appreciated.

You need to create a check that looks for either of these messages. Then once wait_for returns the message you can check which content it has
def confirm_or_deny(m):
return m.author.id == id and m.content.lower() in ['confirm', 'deny']
msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=deny)
if msg.content.lower() == 'confirm':
...
else:
