discord.py how do I get a bot to send a message when a specific user types?

Question

I'm trying to get my bot to type when a specific member types. How would I be able to use their ID, or get their discord ID and allow the bot to use it to detect that they are the author of the message

Answer 1

The simplest way to do so is to use the ID of that user as reference

If you have developer mode activated on your personal discord client, right click on a user and click "copy the ID" (or something like that)

Now, on the discord.py API , you can find everything you need about objets and their attributes.

the Message class has a author attribute which is of class Member . And the Member class has a id attribute, which is an integer. You should write inside the on_message method:

async def on_message(self, message):
    if message.author.id == id_of_the_user_as_integer:
        # Do what you want
