Solution

  • You should wait for your client to login before attempting to send a message / fetching a channel. You can do this by using the ready event. For example:

    bot.on('ready', async () => {
    console.log('Logged in as: ' + bot.user.tag);
    const channel = await bot.channels.fetch(guild);
    await channel.send('content');
})

    Another thing I noticed is that you use client instead of bot. client is a json object but you defined your discord bot object as the bot variable. So use the bot variable and not the client one.

    Make sure that the guild is a valid guild ID. I don't know what is in your client json file but you don't appear to be using it.
