[FIXED] How to get discord.py bot to DM a specific user

Issue

I have searched around a lot for this answer, and I haven't found it. I want to use a suggestion command, that whenever someone uses it to suggest an idea, it DMs me, and me only.

Solution

You'll have to use the send_message method. Prior to that, you have to find which User correspond to yourself.

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    # we do not want the bot to reply to itself
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    # can be cached...
    me = await client.get_user_info('MY_SNOWFLAKE_ID')
    await client.send_message(me, "Hello!")
