Creating an embed and adding buttons

An embed is a framed message, with a title, a colour, pictures and fields: ideal for rules, an announcement or a presentation. The generator has you build it step by step, with a preview, then sends it wherever you want.

The same generator is used everywhere in the bot: welcome messages, custom commands, Twitch alerts…

Composing the embed

Type +embed (or +embed followed by the title). The current embed shows above the menu; pick what you want to change, and the bot asks you the question in the channel:

• title, description (up to 4096 characters) and url (the title becomes a link);
• colour: a name (red, blue…) or a hexadecimal code;
• author (name, link and picture, at the top of the embed) and footer (text and icon, at the bottom);
• thumbnail (the small picture at the top right) and image (the large one, at the bottom): send a link or attach the picture;
• timestamp: a date shown at the bottom, shifted by the duration you give;
• Add a field and Remove a field: title + text blocks, side by side ("inline") or one under the other.

Copy an existing embed takes an embed already posted, by the bot or another bot: give its channel, then the message ID. Undo and Redo cancel or restore your last changes.

Sending the embed

Click Validate, then pick:

• Select the channel to send the embed to;
• Edit one of the bot's message with this embed: it replaces the embed of a message the bot already posted (give the channel, then the message ID). Handy to update rules without posting them again;
• Send this embed to someone's direct messages.

Delete drops the embed.

Adding buttons to a bot message

+button add followed by the link to one of the bot's messages (right-click the message › Copy Message Link) opens a button editor:

• its text and its emoji;
• a link: the button then opens a website, your rules… (link buttons are always grey);
• without a link, it is a decoration button, in the colour of your choice (blue, grey, green or red);
• Button disabled: it stays visible but greyed out.

+button del followed by the message link removes a button, or lets you pick which one if there are several.

Buttons can only be added to messages sent by the bot. For buttons that do something (give a role, answer…), use custom commands or role menus instead.

If it doesn't work

• "I am not the author": only the bot's messages can be edited or get buttons. Send the embed with the bot first.
• "Modification is impossible": the embed would go over 6000 characters; shorten it.
• The picture doesn't show: give a direct link to the picture (ending in .png, .jpg…), or attach it.
