discord.js I keep getting what the bot says instead of user's message

Question

I keep getting: "What is your suggestion" in DMs in the bot instead of the answer to the question the user gives

 else if(msg.content === 'suggest') { msg.delete(); msg.reply('What is your suggestion?'); msg.channel.awaitMessages(m => m.author.id == msg.author.id, {max: 1, time: 30000}).then(collected => { var answer = msg.content; bot.users.get('349463140229971989').send(answer.toLowerCase()); }) //bot.users.get('349463140229971989').send(msg.content); }

I've also tried this:

 else if(msg.content.startsWith('suggest ')) { var user = msg.mentions.users.first(); var answer = msg.content; bot.users.get('349463140229971989').send(answer.toLowerCase() + " from: " + msg.author); msg.delete(); msg.reply('Your suggestion has been forwarded'); }

I get " your suggestion has been forwarded ", and it sends me the bot's reply and not my message

Answer 1

The error is that you aren't taking the collected messages content but rather the command msg here:

var answer = msg.content;

change it to:

var answer = collection.first().content;

But what if the user doesn't send a message? Well you would probably want to send a message back that time is up, to do so you need to add time as one of the errors and add a catch statement:

else if(msg.content === 'suggest') {
    msg.delete();
    msg.reply('What is your suggestion?');
    
    const filter = m => m.author.id == msg.author.id;
    const options = {max: 1, time: 30000, errors: ["time"]};

    msg.channel.awaitMessages(filter, options)
        .then(collected => {
            const answer = collected.first().content;
            bot.users.get('349463140229971989').send(answer.toLowerCase());
            msg.reply("Suggestion forwarded");
        })
        .catch(err => msg.reply("Suggestion canceled"));
}
