Send message to specific channel (command on module.exports)

So I don’t wanna make a mess out of my Main.js so I try to make every possible command through module.exports in other documents.js

Basically I need that if I send a command, the bot will delete my message and post a comment+embed on a specific channel. This is what I have (making it simple):

module.exports = {
    name: 'chtest',
    execute(message, args, Discord) {
        let chComment = 'Normal comment';
            chComment += 'nLine2';
            message.channel.send(chComment)
        const chEmbed = blablaEmbedCode
            message.channel.send(chEmbed)
        message.delete();
    },s
};

I’ve read another Questions and they use

client.channels.cache.get(`Channel_ID`).send('Text')

I tried using it but I got an error ReferenceError: client is not defined

I added Client to my execute line: execute(client, message, args, Discord) {

And now I have another error TypeError: Cannot read property 'cache' of undefined

And… I don’t know what to do now. Any solutions? Thank you in advance.

Try this using the Message class’ client property. Here are the docs for it.

module.exports = {
    name: 'chtest',
    execute(message, args, Discord) {
        let channel = message.client.channels.cache.get('CHANNEL_ID');
   //channel is now the channel, unless it could not be found.
channel.send('Message');     
/*let chComment = 'Normal comment';
            chComment += 'nLine2';
            message.channel.send(chComment)
        const chEmbed = blablaEmbedCode
            message.channel.send(chEmbed)
        message.delete();*/
    },
};
