Send

Send a message as the bot.

#Overview

/send posts a message as Utilities. It can be plain text, or it can carry your saved embeds and buttons, embeds and buttons written in place, and variables like {guild.name}.

#Getting started

  1. Write the message. Put what you want the bot to say in the message option.

  2. Pick a channel. Choose a text or announcement channel. Leave it out to send in the channel you're in.

/send message:Welcome to {guild.name}! channel:#general

With the prefix, put the channel first and the message after it:

,send #general Welcome to {guild.name}!

When it's posted, you get "Message sent to #channel".

#Embeds and buttons

A message can use the same code as the rest of the bot:

  • {embed:name} adds an embed you saved with /embed. See Embeds.
  • {button:name} adds a button you saved with /button. See Buttons.
  • Embeds and buttons can also be written straight into the message.
/send message:Please read these first. {embed:rules} {button:verify}

#Variables

Variables in the message are filled in when it's sent. User variables like {user.mention} are about you, the person who ran the command, and channel variables are about the channel the message goes to. See Variables for the full list.

#Good to know

  • Permissions. You need Manage Messages. Utilities needs View Channel and Send Messages in the channel it posts to. If it can't post there, it tells you which permission is missing.
  • Limits. Discord's own limits apply: 2,000 characters of text and 10 embeds per message.
  • Missing names. If {embed:name} or {button:name} doesn't match anything you've saved, nothing is sent and the bot tells you.
  • Inactive embeds and buttons. If your server is over its plan's limit, some saved embeds and buttons are inactive. A message that uses one isn't sent, and the bot points you to /embed list and /button list to see which are active. See Premium.
