My discord bot repeats the statement again and again, how to fix that?

Question

**I am trying to make a discord.js bot like invitemanager that will give the invites of a user in server. If I can get a alternative code that will be also fine, i surfed all over the internet but not found any source code of invite manager or something like that, please anyone resolve my problem. That invite manager bot sucks that's why i wanna make my own bot which will manage invites in my server. Currently i got this code but it just repeat over and over again and also the commandtrigger isn't working. The commands starts executing in whatever you typed. Please give a solution for that.

Thanks in advance**

const client = new Discord.Client();
let activenum = 0;

client.on('ready', () => {
    client.user.setStatus('available')
    client.user.setPresence({
        game: {
            name: 'ᴛʜᴇ ᴏꜰꜰɪᴄɪᴀʟ ʙᴄ',
            type: "STREAMING",
            url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mTkE8YJEPU"
        }
    });
});

var prefix = "-"
var adminprefix = '-'


//bc


  client.on('message', message => {
    if(message.content === '-invite')
    var targetUser = null;
        var isAnotherUserLookup = false;
        if(message.mentions.members.first() != null)
        {
            targetUser = message.mentions.members.first();
            isAnotherUserLookup = true;
        }
        else
            targetUser = message.member;

        message.guild.fetchInvites()
        .then
        (invites =>
            {var targetUser = null;
        var isAnotherUserLookup = false;
        if(message.mentions.members.first() != null)
        {
            targetUser = message.mentions.members.first().user;
            console.log(targetUser.user);
            isAnotherUserLookup = true;
        }
        else
            targetUser = message.author;

        message.guild.fetchInvites()
        .then
        (invites =>
            {
                const userInvites = invites.array().filter(o => o.inviter.id === targetUser.id);
                var userInviteCount = 0;

                    if(isAnotherUserLookup)
                        message.channel.send(`User _${targetUser.username}_ has invited ${userInviteCount} user(s) to this server.`);

                    else
                        message.reply(`You have invited ${userInviteCount} user(s) to this server. Keep up the good work!`);
          return;
            }
        )
            }
        )
  });




client.login(process.env.token);```

Your if statement doesn't have curly braces; Meaning that it will only be applied to the line after it.

This means that you don't actually have a command filter to determine when the bot sends the invite messsage. The bot will just send the invite message each time it recieves any message (including from itself!)
