Question

Hello i want to log the messages that the Bot becomes per DM in a Channel that i choose. Is that possible?

Answer 1

Yes, you can log the messages that bot get in the dms

I'll write sample code for you:

bot.on('message', message => {
    if (message.channel.type === 'dm'){ 
     // put your code here
     console.log(message.content)

}

});

Answer 2

Yes, direct messages to a bot have guild property set to null .

client.on("message", msg => { 
   if (msg.guild == null) {
       // your action here, for example
       console.log(msg.content);
   }
});

Answer 3

You can also use msg.channel.type to determine the message's channel type.

client.on('message', msg => { 
   if (msg.channel.type === 'dm') {
       channel.send(msg);
   }
});

channel is an object of type TextChannel where you would like your message to be logged to.
