Receiving & Handling the Event

Here is the bare-bones code for receiving the event, as well as an example where you can respond to the event by utilizing if statements to detect the command sent.

})

Receiving and Responding to the Event

bot.js

client.ws.on('INTERACTION_CREATE', async interaction => {
        //Get our command name and convert it to lowercase
        const command = interaction.data.name.toLowerCase();
        //Get any arguments sent with our interaction
        const args = interaction.data.options;
        
        if (command === 'help') {
                // Here you could do anything: Respond, call functions, etc.
                client.api.interactions(interaction.id, interaction.token).callback.post({
                        data: {
                            type: 4,
                            data: {
                                //Replies to the message sent with the interaction
                                content: "Here to help, anytime."
                            }
                        }
                })
        }
}
