Discord.js DM a member when they are muted

Question

I am making a kick command for my bot, and it works well, but I also wanted it to DM the person who was kicked. I have mentioned member to mean the person you intend to ban, and this is my code after they are kicked:

msg.mentionedMember.send(‘You were kicked from ${guild.name} ${reason ? ‘for **${reason}**’ : ‘’}’);

When I run this, it says “Cannot read property 'send' of undefined”

What should I correct about this?

Answer 1

Do you have mentionedMember defined? if not, do:

var mentionedMember = message.guild.member(message.mentions.users.first() || message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);

Then, all you need to do DM the mentioned user is:

mentionedMember.send(`You were kicked!`);
