Sending a normal message after a slash command is run
Question:
Im trying to make my discord.py bot send a normal message after a user runs a certain slash command. Ive tried looking for others with this issue, but none of them are using nextcord. Im using nextcord, in a cog. Any help is appreciated.
I tried things like interaction.send, interaction.send_message, self.bot.send_message, and others like that. All of them resulted in errors like "Interaction has no type "send_message".
Answers:
Quick disclaimer: I am using discord.py, but this should work for nextcord too.
If you have an Interaction, you can get the channel from it and then use send to send a message in there.
await interaction.channel.send("whatever")
Or, you could also use followup to send messages with a Webhook:
await interaction.followup.send("whatever")

Hope this helps.
