DM Button not triggering InteractionCreate

Hello, I'm trying to get a button working in DMs, but it does not seem to be even triggering the InteractionCreate event, resulting in Interaction Failed. I know it doesn't because I logged every time the InteractionCreate event's function was run, and it did not log when the button was pressed. However, when I made a test command that sends me a very simple button, that button actually triggers the InteractionCreate event, unlike the one I want to work. I have no idea why it is doing that. Here is the one that isn't working:

const appealButton = new ActionRowBuilder<ButtonBuilder>().addComponents([
  new ButtonBuilder()
    .setCustomId(`${appealButtonId}-${appealId}`)
    .setLabel("Appeal")
    .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
]);

const appealButton = new ActionRowBuilder<ButtonBuilder>().addComponents([
  new ButtonBuilder()
    .setCustomId(`${appealButtonId}-${appealId}`)
    .setLabel("Appeal")
    .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
]);

where the customId is usually something along the lines of banAppealButton-677ce84d-56f3-48b8-9b53-aa51f94003bc. This is less than 100 characters. This is the test button:

await interaction.user.send({
  components: [
    new ActionRowBuilder<ButtonBuilder>().setComponents(
      new ButtonBuilder()
        .setCustomId(`test`)
        .setLabel("Test")
        .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
    )
  ]
});

await interaction.user.send({
  components: [
    new ActionRowBuilder<ButtonBuilder>().setComponents(
      new ButtonBuilder()
        .setCustomId(`test`)
        .setLabel("Test")
        .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary)
    )
  ]
});

sorry if these are badly formatted. I have no idea why this one works but the other one doesn't.

Is the bot banning the member after sending the DM? Because as far as I know, if a bot does not share servers with a user, it cannot receive interactions from DMs

Tecci•4mo ago

wait is that true because if so then that would be the issue

AlexCdDg•4mo ago

Im pretty sure, yeah

Tecci•4mo ago

but wouldn't the DM be kind of a server on its own? idk

AlexCdDg•4mo ago

Mm, no, have you ever tried DMing a bot you don't share servers with? You will get that clyde message saying the message cannot be sent because you don't share servers And I believe it's kind of the same here

Tecci•4mo ago

that's annoying but I'll have to make do if that's the case

AlexCdDg•4mo ago

You could alternatively send a URL button, or something like that

Tecci•4mo ago

yeah I was thinking that that's probably the only way I have no idea where the URL should go though

! Yizzy•4mo ago

Make it a form get a domain or sum make it a shortcut server.name/appeal And that url shortcuts to appeals Or if ur js making a bot for multiple server make it where they can make their own link send out
