Can't send message to specific channels

In my ClientReady event. I can send a message to specific channel 
const notiChannel = client.channels.cache.get('1379862671217791069');

notiChannel.send({ 
    embeds: [notiEmbed]
});
const notiChannel = client.channels.cache.get('1379862671217791069');

notiChannel.send({ 
    embeds: [notiEmbed]
});
but it seems not to work with this slash command 
const notiChannel = client.channels.cache.get('1379778222169784431');
const publicNotiChannel = client.channels.cache.get('1374718357953183804');

try {
    const notificationEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
    // ...

    if (notiChannel) {
        await notiChannel.send({ embeds: [notificationEmbed] });
    }
                            
    if (publicNotiChannel) {
        const publicMessage = await publicNotiChannel.send({ embeds: [notificationEmbed] });
        await publicMessage.react('👋🏻');
    }
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Error : '+ error.message);
}
const notiChannel = client.channels.cache.get('1379778222169784431');
const publicNotiChannel = client.channels.cache.get('1374718357953183804');

try {
    const notificationEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
    // ...

    if (notiChannel) {
        await notiChannel.send({ embeds: [notificationEmbed] });
    }
                            
    if (publicNotiChannel) {
        const publicMessage = await publicNotiChannel.send({ embeds: [notificationEmbed] });
        await publicMessage.react('👋🏻');
    }
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Error : '+ error.message);
}
it throws: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'channels')

show the full code of your ready event listener because client is apparently undefined according to your error

and how do you register your event listeners? what's the handler?

I'm using the one that on the document 
const eventsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'events');
const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
    const filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);
    const event = require(filePath);
    
    if (event.once) {
        client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    } else {
        client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    }
}
const eventsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'events');
const eventFiles = fs.readdirSync(eventsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of eventFiles) {
    const filePath = path.join(eventsPath, file);
    const event = require(filePath);
    
    if (event.once) {
        client.once(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    } else {
        client.on(event.name, (...args) => event.execute(...args));
    }
}

console.log(`:white_check_mark: Logged in : ${client.user.tag} (${client.user.id})`);
console.log(`:white_check_mark: Logged in : ${client.user.tag} (${client.user.id})`);
does that line show up in your console?

not anywhere close to your ready listener. please pay attention to your errors, they have a lot of useful information
