Send message to specific text channel by name not ID in a Python Discord Bot

Question

Is there an equivalent command to client.get_channel(\'ID\') that allows you to send the message to a specifically named text channel.

My project is a report system

Answer 1

You can use discord.utils.get to iterate through server.channels and find the channel with a particular name:

import discord
from discord.utils import get

async def report(server, name, *args, **kwargs):
    channel = get(server.channels, name=name, type=discord.ChannelType.text)
    await bot.send_message(channel, *args, **kwargs)
