How to send a global message?
I'm wanting to send a message (in a way as a global announcement to all servers) about important information regarding the bot. In this instance, regarding unplanned downtime.
guild.channels.find(t => t.name == 'general').send I think.. is correct coding to find a text-channel with the name #general. (I want to add 'announcements' / 'lounge') as a back-up if #general isn't an option.
I have no clue where to start on coding up this command.
Any help would be appreciated.
BELOW YOU CAN FIND A SEMI-TEMPLATE / IDEA OF WHAT I WANT?
some parts of the code are chopped out, this is no way effects below.
exports.exec = async (Peepo, message, args) => {
// Fires Error message that the command wasn't ran correctly.
if (args.length < 1) {
return message.channel.send({embed: {
color: 0,
description: `${message.author} add some words.`
}
});
}
// Fires Error message that the command wasn't ran correctly.
// FETCH CHANNELS TO SEND ANNOUNCEMENT TO
message.channel.send({
embed: {
color: 0,
title: ` ANNOUNCEMENT`,
description: `${guild.name}{`,
footer: {
text: "${guild.name} this is an official message from the creator of this bot."
};

The easiest solution would be to message the guild owner.
client.guilds.forEach(guild => {
client.users.get(guild.ownerID).send("Important announcement!");
});
Every guild has an owner, so there's no worry about a server renaming their #general channel.
