Create DM Channel

Create a DM channel with a user. If you run the block several times with the same user ID inputted, it will always return the same channel. If a user initiates a DM with the bot, it will also have the same Channel ID.

You should not use this endpoint to send a large number of DMs. DMs should always be initiated by a user action. If you open a significant amount of DMs too quickly, your bot may be rate limited, banned, or blocked from using DMs by Discord.
