@bot.event:
async on_message(message):
    if message.DMChannel:
         # define channel and send message to channel.

You can also refer to DOCS.

Yes, this is possible:

  • First, we use the on_message() event to detect when a message is sent.
  • We then check if the message is sent in a DM.
  • If so, we will send a message to a specific channel.

Here is one way you can implement it:

# import ...

bot = discord.Bot(...)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    # check if it's
    if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
        # get the channel from ID
        channel = client.get_channel(CHANNEL_ID)  # put channel ID here

        await channel.send("test")   # whatever you want to send

Yes, it is possible for a bot to receive a direct message and then repost the message in a specified channel on a server. This can be done using the Discord API.

You can do the following:

  1. Create a Discord bot and add it to your server. You can do this using the Discord developer portal.

  2. Use the Discord API to listen for messages sent to the bot in a DM. You can do this using the message event and the DMChannel class in the Discord API.

  3. When the bot receives a DM, use the Discord API to repost the message in the specified channel on the server. You can do this using the send method of the TextChannel class in the Discord API.
