I want to make my bot send a message when the wait_for answer is wrong

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
        await channel.send('Hello {.author}!'.format(msg))

So when the user answer is not hello then the bot should send a message too

How to make this?

discord.py python

Instead of putting your m.content in your check function itself, you can instead call it outside of this using msg.content. This is because the variable msg is still a message object. Do view the revised code below.

def check(m):
    # we won't check the content here...
    return m.author == message.author and m.channel == message.channel 
    
msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)

# ...instead we will check the content using an if-else statement
if msg.content == 'hello':
    await message.channel.send("Hello {.author}!".format(msg))
else:
    await message.channel.send("You did not say hello...")
