const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent] });
client.on('messageCreate', message => {
if (message.content === '!ping') {
message.channel.send('Pong!');
}
});
client.login('YOUR_BOT_TOKEN');
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const sendMessage = async (channelId, message) => {
const url = `https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/${channelId}/messages`;

method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bot YOUR_BOT_TOKEN`,
