Bot is not properly sending custom emojis discord.js

Question

I'm having trouble using custom emoji in discord.js. When I try to make the bot use the emoji, It Always returns strange. Command Is: message.channel.send(':emoji name:emoji id') and When I try to use it, the bot responds with: :emoji name: . But if I copy paste the :emoji name: It actually sends the emoji.

I tried with only the emoji id or only with :emoji name: and it still sends :emoji name: . What can I do?

Answer 1

have you tried doing this inside of discord...

and copy and paste it into your code?

You would need to format the emoji like this:

<:emoji-name:emoji_id>

example:

<:CL_Discord:929513964805685248>
