I'm having trouble finding a way to hide the mand message above a bot's "interaction.reply()" message. I just want the message to be public (not ephemeral), without it being a reply to a mand or getting an error message. Thank you in advance.

• javascript
• node.js
• discord.js

• What do you mean by mand message? Can you elaborate? – skara9 Commented Nov 27, 2021 at 0:08
• Have you tried interaction.channel.send() – Elitezen Commented Nov 27, 2021 at 1:09
• @Elitezen Yes that kinda works, but I get an error message saying: "This interaction failed". – BlockNoir Commented Nov 27, 2021 at 8:21
• The interaction must be replied to, else that will happen – Elitezen Commented Nov 27, 2021 at 12:59
• Then is there anyway to hide it? – BlockNoir Commented Nov 27, 2021 at 13:45

My problem has been resolved with this:

interaction.deferReply();
interaction.deleteReply();
interaction.channel.send("dummy message");

I really don't understand what you meant by that but this might be what you were looking for

You need to reply then delete it

interaction.reply({ content: 'dummy message', fetchReply: true })
  .then((message) => message.delete())
  .catch(console.error);
