Discord;py Channel URL in message

I have a small giveaway check on a bot and i would like to point people towards the giveaway if they have not entered. The only issue is that #bottest is being shown as plain text and not an active link to the channel.


@bot.command(name='giveaway')  
async def giveaway(ctx, *test):
    if len(test) == 0:
            user = ctx.message.author
            if discord.utils.get(user.roles, name="giveaway"):
                await ctx.send(f"Hello {ctx.author.mention} you are entered into the Giveaway! Good luck!")
            else:
                await ctx.send(f"Hello {ctx.author.mention} you haven't yet entered the Giveaway! Head on over to #bottest to take part")

How do i direct link to the channel in the else message posted by the bot?

The above solution works but you would have to specify the channel each time. Instead if the channel is fixed, you can call it like this:

bottestchannel = bot.get_channel(channel_id_goes_here)
# rest of the code
await ctx.send(f"Hello {ctx.author.mention} you haven't yet entered the Giveaway! Head on over to {bottestchannel.mention} to take part")

Or this also works fine:

 else:
     await ctx.send(f"Hello {ctx.author.mention} you haven't yet entered the Giveaway! Head on over to <#channel_id_goes_here> to take part")

You can add one more parameter to the cmd async def giveaway(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel, *test):

also change last line to await ctx.send(f"Hello {ctx.author.mention} you haven't yet entered the Giveaway! Head on over to {channel.mention} to take part")
