$getChannelSelectChannelID[(index)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
index	Optional - The index of the channel in the selection (1 = first). Default: 1.

Return Value

• An empty string if no channel was selected.

Behavior

• Used in interactions of type $onInteraction[] or $selectMenuInteractionID[].

$onInteraction[channel_select]
$let[channelID;$getChannelSelectChannelID]
$title[Selected Channel]
$description[
**ID:** $channelID
**Name:** $channelName[$channelID]
]
$sendMessage[]

Handling multiple selections

$onInteraction[channel_select]
$let[count;$length[$splitText[$getChannelSelectChannelIDs[,];,]]]
You have selected **$count** channel(s):
$textSplit[$getChannelSelectChannelIDs[,];,]
> <#[$splitText[$index]]> (ID: $splitText[$index])
$endTextSplit

Notes

• The index starts at 1 (not 0).
• Only works in interaction callbacks.
• For multiple selections, use $getChannelSelectChannelIDs[] instead.
• The returned channel can be of any type (text, voice, category, etc.).
