How to get a embed from a message in Discord.js v14

Im getting a message that got reacted with a emoji, and want to send it in another channel, but I cant get the embed information from that message reaction.message.embeds is empty.

Do I need to set some intents to be able to read that data? Like GatewayIntentsBits.MessageContent for messages

Want to re-send a message with embed to another channel

[EDIT] When I do some weird shit: reaction.message.channel.messages.fetch(reaction.message.id) the embeds tag seems to work, is there any way or reason for that? Or should I use this weird way, can someone explain to me why the first example doesnt work?

In regards of the Intents:

This property requires the GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent privileged intent in a guild for messages that do not mention the client. (https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/Message?scrollTo=embeds)

The return is an Array of embeds. Therefore you would need to access it with reaction.message.embeds[0] for example. Of course if your reaction.message.embedsis completly empty this would not help.

A good way to check for the information is to console.log(reaction.message)

You can also fetch() the reaction directly to get the full MessageReaction information.

reaction.fetch().then((fetchedReaction) => {
    fetchedReaction.message.embeds[0]; //or
    fetchedReaction.message.embeds;
});

Your solution

reaction.message.channel.messages.fetch(reaction.message.id)

is indeed the best and correct way if the message may not be in the cache. This way it is still being retrived.
