Discord.js v14 Sending Message in Separate Channel Not Working

Question

I am creating a command, where on a button click it is supposed to send a message in a specific channel.

To achieve this, I have used the code given in the discord.js documentations faq;

const channel = client.channels.cache.get('id');
channel.send('content');

However, on clicking the button, the console gives the following error;

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'channels')

I'm not very well versed at discord.js whatsoever, so I have no idea what to do.

Here's the full code for the button interaction;

   const filter = i => i.customId === 'accept' && i.member.roles.cache.has('1111582370265563200');
    const collector = interaction.channel.createMessageComponentCollector({ filter });
    collector.on('collect', async i => {
        if (i.customId === 'accept'){
         accept.setDisabled(true)
            const channel = client.channels.cache.get('1111616693358301237');
            channel.send({embeds: [embedAccept]});
         i.update({embeds: [yesembed]});
        }
    });

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The issue is that you're trying to access the channels property of an undefined client.

For slash commands, you can access your client instance by using interaction.client.

const channel = interaction.client.channels.cache.get('1111616693358301237');
