Discord Bot Error: can't send non-None value to a just-started coroutine

Question

I am new to Discord API.

I am trying to send messages to my discord channel using a bot. I would like to run the function "scheduled_run" so that it sends messages to the channel.

Below code should send "Remainder" to channel but I am receiving error "can't send non-None value to a just-started coroutine"

async def get_channel(id):
  return 

async def scheduled_run():
  channel = get_channel(83863944137526xxxx)
  await channel.send("Remainder")

if __name__ == "__main__":
  loop = get_event_loop()
  loop.run_until_complete(scheduled_run())

Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 83, in loop.run_until_complete(scheduled_run()) File "/usr/lib/python3.8/asyncio/base_events.py", line 616, in run_until_complete return future.result() File "main.py", line 78, in scheduled_run await channel.send(msg) TypeError: can't send non-None value to a just-started coroutine

Is it possible to send bot message without user reply? Please correct my code

Answer 1

You must fetch the channel directly from client:

channel = client.get_channel(83863944137526xxxx)
await channel.send("Remainder")
