Logging messages from one channel

I've tried several times to work this and I don't understand the error, I am receiving but I'll explain what I'm trying to do: Basically I want to log the messages from one channel and paste those messages onto a different channel. Here is the code I have so far;

client.on(`message`, message => {
    if (message.author.bot) return; // If the message is by a bot return.
    if (!message.guild) return; // If the message isn't in a guild return.
    if (message.guild) {
        const msgLog = `[MESSAGE] [${message.guild.name}] [#${message.channel.name}] ${message.author.username}#${message.author.discriminator}: ${message.content}\n` // You can change this to whatever you want.
        client.channels.get(`814685640088223795`).send(msgLog); // Replace CHANNEL ID with the channel ID you want the logs to go to.
        return;
    }
})

The error I am receiving goes as follows:

(node:17260) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: ReferenceError: client is not defined

You seem to be missing two important lines of code:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

Appending these two lines from the discord.js documentation in the beginning of your index.js file should make it work.

You are missing this from your index file:

const Discord = require("discord.js");
//under const Discord etc
const client = new Discord.Client();

If you are trying to only allow guildMessages, you do it like this:

if (message.channel.type === "dm") return; //dont react to dms

Finally, to send a message to a channel by id:

message.guild.channels.cache.get('814685640088223795').send(msglog); //using 'cache' since v12 uses managers
