Discord js detect other bot's message

I'm trying to detect a message that comes from another discord bot. Like for example, if the other discord bot says the word "captcha", my discord bot will detect it and ping me. Hopefully, there's also a way to detect another bot's embed too, not only messages.

You can detect if a user is a bot using the bot property on a User.

// create a message event
client.on('message', (message) => {
 if (message.author.bot) {
  // if the message is a bot
  console.log(`${message.author.username} sent: '${message.content}'`); // you can fetch the message text through `message.content`

  if (message.embeds[0])
   // if the message includes an embed
   console.log(
    `${message.author.username} sent an embed with the title ${message.embeds[0].title}`
   ); // you can fetch the embed content through `message.embeds[0]`
 }
});

You can get the bot property from author (user object)

message.author.bot will return true if whoever sent the message is a bot, otherwise false.

For your "captcha" detection you would just need to check message.content
