  • Announcements and updates
  • Information displays
  • Welcome messages

Embed Formatting​

Basic Structure​

Every embed created includes:

  • Title - Bold text at the top
  • Description - Main content area
  • Color - Left border and accent color
  • Timestamp - Automatically added at the bottom

Example Embed Display​

┌─ [Title in Bold]
│  Description text goes here.

Advanced Tips​

Multi-Line Descriptions​

Discord automatically wraps text, but you can use line breaks in your description:

  • Keep paragraphs short for readability
  • Use markdown formatting (see below)

Markdown Support​

Embeds support Discord markdown:

  • Bold text: **text**
  • Italic text: *text*
  • Bold italic: ***text***
  • Code: `code`
  • Links: [text](url)
  • Strikethrough: ~~text~~

Example:

/embed create
  title: Product Update
  description: **New Feature:** We've added *one-click checkout*! Visit our [store](https://example.com) today.

Error Messages​

"Invalid color format"​

Make sure your color is in hex format: # followed by 6 characters (0-9, A-F)

  • ✅ Correct: #5865F2
  • ❌ Wrong: 5865F2, blue, #58F

"An embed with name already exists"​

That name is already taken. Choose a different name or delete the existing embed first.

"No saved embed found with name"​

The embed name doesn't exist. Use /embed list to see all saved embeds.

"Failed to send embed"​

The bot may lack permissions in the target channel. Ensure the bot can:

  • View the channel
  • Send messages
  • Embed links

Permissions Required​

To use this command, you need:

  • Manage Messages permission (Discord)
  • A staff role configured in bot settings

Tips for Staff​

  • Create a library of commonly used embeds for quick access
  • Use consistent colors for different types of messages (e.g., blue for info, red for urgent)
  • Save embeds with clear, descriptive names
  • Test embeds in a staff channel before sending to public channels
  • Keep descriptions concise - long text walls are hard to read
  • Use the server's configured embed color for brand consistency
  • Delete outdated embeds regularly to keep the list clean
