Make your own embeds
Build messages with embeds, text, columns and pictures in the dashboard, and let the bot post them and keep them up to date.
What the module does
Embeds lets you make your own messages with embeds, for example a price list, a guide, info about the server or an overview of ranks. You build them in the dashboard, and the bot posts them in the channel you pick. If you change a message later, the bot edits the same message in Discord, so links to it keep working.
The module is free and has no slash commands.
Getting started
- 1Open Embeds in the menu under Essentials and turn the module on with the switch at the top of the page.
- 2Click New message.
- 3Give the message a name so you can tell it apart in the list, and pick a channel. The name is not shown in Discord.
- 4Write the content right in the box that looks like Discord: text above the embeds and one or more embeds.
- 5Click Save.
- 6Click Publish at the top of the page. Only now does the bot post the messages in Discord.
What an embed can hold
- Title and Description: the heading and the main text.
- Add column: a heading with text under it, for example "Price" and "80,000 coins". Columns sit three side by side. The button with two columns switches between column and full width.
- Large picture under the text and Small picture in the corner. Click Upload to pick a picture from your computer, or Link to use a picture that is already online.
- Footer: a small text at the bottom. Turn on Show time to show when the message was posted.
- You pick the colour of the left edge next to the embed.
A message can have up to 10 embeds. Click Add embed to add one, for example an embed for each car in a price list. Under the embeds you can see how many characters are left, because Discord allows at most 6000 characters in a message’s embeds.
Formatting
When you click in a text field, a row of buttons shows up above it: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, heading, bullet list, numbered list, quote, code and link. Select the text first and click the button. Click again to take the formatting off.
Ctrl+Bbold,Ctrl+Iitalic andCtrl+Uunderline.- Select several lines and click Bullet list to make each line a bullet point.
**bold** and - item. Click the eye next to the message to see it the way Discord shows it. Click the pencil to keep editing.Edit, move and remove
- Edit a message: make the change, click Save and Publish. The bot edits the message that is already in Discord.
- Duplicate: makes a copy of the message right below it, without a channel. Handy when several messages should look alike.
- Change channel: when you publish, the bot removes the message from the old channel and posts it in the new one.
- Not posted: pick it instead of a channel to take the message down from Discord but keep it in the dashboard.
- Remove: when you publish, the bot also deletes the message in Discord.
Limits
- Up to 25 messages per server and 10 embeds per message.
- Uploaded pictures can be at most 1 MB each, and 8 MB together. Big pictures are made smaller automatically. GIFs cannot be made smaller, so they must be under 1 MB.
- Linked pictures must start with
https://. - The bot must be able to see the channel and write in it. If it cannot, the error shows next to Publish.
