Syntax

$channelExists[channelID]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
channelID	The ID of the channel to check. Required.

Return value

Type	Description
string	"true" if Discord returns the channel, "false" otherwise.

Examples

Simple check

$if[$channelExists[123456789012345678]==true]
  $sendMessage[The channel is valid.]
$else
  $sendMessage[The channel does not exist.]
$endif

Check before sending a message

$if[$channelExists[123456789012345678]==true]
  $channelSendMessage[123456789012345678;Automated message]
$else
  $sendMessage[The log channel no longer exists!]
$endif

Notes

• The returned value is a string "true" or "false".
• The check is not limited to the current server: any channel that Discord returns for the ID to the bot counts, including threads and DM channels.
• An ID that is not a positive number returns false (no error). An unknown channel (Discord error 10003) returns false; other Discord errors (for example missing access) are raised as errors.
• Useful in log or configuration systems where IDs are stored.
