title: How do I make my bot send a command to make a separate bot do something?
body: <p>So I'm fairly new to coding with JavaScript, specifically discord.js. I have a bot called Icarus installed on my Discord server which is capable of making a vocal countdown in a voice channel.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to make a bot that can automatically activate the command for Icarus to do that every now and again.</p>
  
  <p>I can get my bot to send the message </p>
  
  <pre><code>'!cd 10'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which will start the countdown for the voice channel the sender is currently in for 10 seconds.</p>
  
  <p>My bot is in the channel, but when it sends that message, nothing happens.</p>
  
  <p>I believe this is because the owner of Icarus has put an If-statement in their code that prevents bots from activating commands.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know a workaround for this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
