Sending message in discord using bot

Question

I was working on discord.py and I got issue with error AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

Here is the code

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

pybot=commands.Bot(command_prefix="#", description="I love it",case_insensitive=True)

log_channel_id=674175630916583445

@pybot.event

async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged in as{pybot.user}")
    channel = pybot.get_user(log_channel_id)
    await channel.send('👀')

pybot.run(TOKEN, bot=True, reconnect=True)

Answer 1

You want to get a channel but you're using the get_user function. Since the bot can't find a user with the channel's ID, it returns None . Replace

channel = pybot.get_user(log_channel_id)

with

channel = pybot.get_channel(log_channel_id)

Answer 2

@pybot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged in as{pybot.user}")
    channel = pybot.get_channel(674175630916583445)
    await channel.send('👀')

You can have more information about get_channel in the official Discord.py docs

• get_channel(id)
