Okay. This might be a strange question, but I need help as I could not find anything online. I have a discord bot and server that is hosts a competition, and users submit their submissions by Direct Messaging me a link or file of their submission. I would like to change this to them DMing the bot instead, and the bot posting the links and files in a certain channel in the server. I have absolutely no clue how to achieve this as I am kind of a novice when it comes to this sort of thing. Please comment if I need to change my wording or need to clarify anything!
Replace channel id with the actual id of the channel that you want to send the submissions to.
For Discord.js v12/v13 (the latest version):
client.on('message', ({attachments, author, content, guild}) => {
// only do this for DMs
if (!guild) {
// this will simply send all the attachments, if there are any, or the message content
// you might also want to check that the content is a link as well
const submission = attachments.size
? {files: [...attachments.values()], content: `${author}`}
: {content: `${content}\n${author}`}
client.channels.cache.get('channel id').send(submission)
}
})
For Discord.js v11 replace
client.channels.cache.get('channel id').send(submission)
with
client.channels.get('channel id').send(submission)
