"Send" does not exist on type "channel"

Hi.

Trying to make a discord bot that will send a message to a specific channel on startup. I try the method of caching the channel and then sending the message. An error is thrown saying "Send" does not exist on type "channel".

const channel = client.channels.cache.get('1076251641625456700');
channel.send("Hi");

const channel = client.channels.cache.get('1076251641625456700');
channel.send("Hi");

Any thoughts why?

const channel =  await client.channels.fetch("1076251641625456700");
        if(channel?.isTextBased() ) {
            channel.send("Hello World!")
        }

const channel =  await client.channels.fetch("1076251641625456700");
        if(channel?.isTextBased() ) {
            channel.send("Hello World!")
        }

Fetch the channel, make sure it is text based.
