How do I send direct messages, without making a user log in? (Nodejs, passportjs)

I’m confused on how I should send a DM without having to log in to my account. I’ve created my app and want to give any user the ability to write a DM. At this point I’m able to send a DM through the app, but I want to not have the log in link. I’m using passportjs and nodejs.
