How to send a message to a channel?

I've copied the code from the FAQ verbatim:

const channel = client.channels.cache.get('id');
channel?.send('content');

const channel = client.channels.cache.get('id');
channel?.send('content');

but typescript complains that send doesn't exist on channel (note that I've handled the possible nullish value already). I checked the Channel type and it indeed doesn't have send. What am I doing wrong?
