Notes

  • Ensure the bot has the necessary permissions (Read Messages, View Channel, Send Messages, Attach Files) in both the source channel (Channel ID) and the destination channel (Send to Channel ID).
  • The "latest messages" are determined by the bot's message history caching. The number of messages retrieved may vary depending on server settings and message activity.
  • The function returns undefined if the bot fails to send the message with the file (e.g., due to permission issues or file size limits).
