Hello, I am trying to send a private message to a user as above but I get the following error. I am using node.js discord.js v10. I need to code a bot that sends bulk private messages. I can get the id value of the user, but I can't send a private message to that user in any way. I tested it on users I am on the same server, but I get the following error. Do you have any idea how to fix my code? Thank you.

CodePudding user response：

EDIT:

It appears that the Bot and the users were not sharing a server, thus this error was thrown.

BEFORE EDIT:

That happens because the user either has its DMs closed or the user blocked your bot.

You can't do anything to bypass this and still send the message. If you plan on sending DMs to multiple members, and want to avoid the error you can add a .catch() to handle it.

user.send('hello world').catch(err => {console.log(err)});
// leave empty if you dont want to do anything
