Discord bot check if a bot deleted a message












1














I want to make my discord bot to send a reply message only if a user has deleted a message (not bots). I'm using message.author.bot to find out, but it seems that deleting messages isn't the same. So far I have this:



@client.event
async def on_message_delete(message):
if message.author.bot:
return
await client.send_message(message.channel, "<@{}>'s message was deleted".format(message.author.id))

  • I'm unsure based on your wording whether you want to exclude messages of a bot that were deleted or messages that were deleted by a bot. Could you clarify your intentions?

  • See this answer. Depending on your version, you may not be able to see who deleted a message.

  • @PatrickHaugh Thanks. It seems that the discord API doesn't show who deleted the message. Maybe this question is unsolvable.

  • Best you can do is give the bot permission to check the audit logs, then look for the message's deletion in there (as in that answer)
