Discord.py: How to make the bot respond to a DM?

[mrbean1010]

Hello, how would I make my bot respond to a dm? I have a command that DM's the user who sent the message but I would like to also make it so then the user can respond to the bot and the bot will respond back

Please could you state whether you are async or rewrite. Or for the best chance of help, please go to the official discord.py server
