No matter how hard I look I cannot find a tutorial on how to do this in Discord.py, It's all Discord.js. Here is my current code;
@bot.command(brief='announce [message]')
async def announce(ctx, message : str):
print(str(message))
if(str(ctx.message.author) == user):
await ctx.send('User Authentication Successful')
try:
for chan in channels:
try:
channel = bot.get_channel(chan)
info = discord.Embed(title='New Announcement!', description=str(message), color=0xFFFFFF)
await channel.send(embed=info)
except Exception as e:
await ctx.send(e)
await ctx.send("Error: " + str(chan))
except Exception as e:
await ctx.send(e)
And this is the error I am getting.
Ignoring exception in command announce

Please Help Me :(
EDIT: I'm sorry if anything was confusing. I'm trying to make an -announce command. Where I type -announce and it announces (embedded) whatever was typed.
You can make an announcement command like this:
Option 1: Prefix Command
@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def announce(ctx, *, announcement: str):
channel = bot.get_channel(CHANNEL_ID) # channel ID here (int)
await channel.send(announcement)
return
Option 2: Slash Command
@bot.tree.command(name='announce', description='send an announcement.')
async def announce(interaction: discord.Interaction, *, announcement: str):
channel = bot.get_channel(CHANNEL_ID) # channel ID here (int)
await channel.send(announcement)
return
Optionally... you can mention a role by using the role ping format in the message. ex: await channel.send(f'<@&ROLE> :: {announcement}')
It's important for *
to not be the first argument, but announcement: str
always has to be following..
