DMChannel

A DMChannel is a private conversation between the bot and a user. It is what channel.isDM() gives, the channel of a private message and of a command used in a private message, and what user.createDM() returns. To write to someone, user.send() is shorter.

import type { DMChannel } from 'chapterjs';

async function thank(channel: DMChannel) {
  const name = channel.recipient?.displayName ?? 'there';
  await channel.send(`Thanks for your message, ${name}! A moderator will answer soon.`);
}

How to send, edit and read messages is in Sending messages. Private messages only reach your bot with chapterjs start: see Private messages.
