How to have discord.js send a dm to someone

Question

I want it to send at a specific time. I have that part worked out with cron. I dont know how create a function that actually sends the message from the bot.

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
var cron = require("cron");

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});

let scheduledMessage = new cron.CronJob("30 52  20 * * *", () => {
  client.users.get('ID').send('test');
})
scheduledMessage.start();

client.login(token);

Answer 1

This should work for some people if using v11.

If you are using v12:

1. Use client.users.cache.get
2. If it still doesn't work you need to use fetch .
