All message commands are interactive.
This means that if parts of the command are not given, you will be prompted for them. An example of the send command and this being used is below:
Plain content messages
Sending messages
To send a message you must specify the channel and content to send.
The content may be either just the exact message after the channel or enclosed in a code block with triple backticks ( ``` ). If it is the code block will be removed before sending. If you would like to send a code block just put six backticks instead of three.
The <channel> can be either the channel id or the channel mention.
~send <channel> <content>
Example:
Editing Messages
To edit messages you need to provide the channel, message id and the new content
The bot cannot edit messages that were not sent from the bot.
~edit <channel> <message id> <new content>
Rich Embed Messages
If you are struggling with the formatting, please join the support server and ask.
Sending rich embeds
When sending rich embeds there are two options.
Sending basic embeds
This will send an embed with only the title and description set. The command is ~send-embed <channel> the bot will then prompt you for the title and then the description.
Sending full embeds
This is sending a fully customizable embed. The command will take the JSON version of an embed and turn it into an embed. The format for the JSON can be found on the discord dev website. I suggest using a tool like discohook and then copying the JSON content. ~send-embed-json <channel> <json-embed>
Editing rich embeds
Two options as above, both take the same content.
Trying to edit a message without an embed will result in an error.
Editing basic embeds
This will update only the title and description of the embed in the message provided. Any other content is ingored.
~edit-embed <channel> <message> The title and description will be prompted
Editing full embeds
Provide the JSON form of the new embed, the format can be found in the sending section
I suggest fetching the JSON version of the original embed and then editing it to use in this command.
~edit-embed-json <channel> <message> <json-embed>
Fetching messages
When you 'fetch' a message it will return a .txt or .json file depending on the type of message. If the message is an embed the bot will send a .json file with the JSON representation of the embed.
This is useful because it mean that you can view and change the exact content that the bot handles without any of discord's formatting.
~fetch <channel> <message id>
Alias: ~fetch-embed
Content.txt
Content:
This message was edited!
Deleting messages
The bot can delete messages that it has sent. This is useful in situations where you don't have the MANAGE MESSAGES permission.
You will be prompted to confirm the deletion
A .txt file will be returned if the content is too long, or a .json file if the message was an embed.
