Discord.js send message to specific channel and react to it

Question

I know you can do something like this:

const channel = await client.channels.fetch("Channel id");
  channel.send('Message');

But what if I wanted to react to the message I sent? You need the message object to react right?

Answer 1

The TextChannel#send returns a Promise < Message >. You'll have to await the message to be sent to be able to react to it.

const channel = await client.channels.fetch('Channel id');
const message = await channel.send('Message');
await message.react('👍');
console.log('Reacted to message.');
