my discord.js command isn't sending sometimes code example

Example: If statement discord js

<client>.on('message', message => {
	if (message.content === '!ping') {
		message.channel.send('Pong.');
	} else if (message.content.startsWith('beep')) {
		message.channel.send('Boop.');
    }
});
// The client is the bot itself. 
// You would have defined this at the top of your index.js/app.js
// It would look like 'const client = new Discord.Client()'
// Put that in place for '<client>' and remove the <>
