How to send a message to a specific channel

Question

I'm trying to send a message to a specific channel with my Discord bot, which is in several servers. I want the bot to pick up on a message from one server and send a message to my personal server, in a specific channel, but I can't get it to 'find' the channel. Has the API changed or something? I tried npm install discord.js to update too.

Code:

if (message.author.id == 'XXXXX' && !mess.includes("Dank") && message.channel.id != 'XXXXX') {
  bot.channels.get('XXXXX').send('memes');
}

I tried a few things but none worked.

Answer 1

Well, if you have the "client" instance of Discord.Client(), then use this:

SOLUTION UPDATED to work with newer discordjs versions

client.channels.cache.get(`channelID`).send(`Text`)

Don't forget the channeID parameter is a string type, not number. It's really simple yet precise.
