If an interaction (for example button click) is not replied, discord will display “interaction failed” in the client

What they expect you to do: inter.reply(‘stuff’)

What I want to do: inter.channel.send(‘stuff’)

This is not an error I just want to prevent “interaction failed” from showing up, is there anyway to do that?

• javascript
• node.js
• discord
• discord.js

• So do you want to change "interaction failed" to something else or make it not showing up at all? – MegaMix_Craft Commented Nov 9, 2021 at 18:10

You can use ButtonInteraction.deferUpdate(). This will not show "This interaction failed", it replies with saying that you will edit it later^[1], though it won't show any content like the Bot is thinking...

inter.deferUpdate();
inter.channel.send("some content")

^{[1]: You don't have to update it after}
