Syntax

$authorUrl[url;(embedIndex)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
url	Destination URL. The author name will point to this address.
embedIndex	Optional. Index of the targeted embed, from 1 to 10 (1 by default, also when empty). Any other value is an error.

Return value

Modifies the response in progress. Returns nothing.

When to use $authorUrl[]

• You have already set the author with $author[name] or $author[name;icon] and want to make it clickable.
• The URL is dynamic (depends on a variable, an ID, etc.).
• You want to separate the definition of the name/icon from that of the link for better clarity.

Examples

Link to the Discord profile of the user

$author[$username;$authorAvatar]
$authorUrl[https://discord.com/users/$authorID]
$title[User Profile]
$description[
Click on the name above to open the Discord profile.

$author[Bot Designer for Discord]
$authorIcon[https://bdfd.com/icon.png]
$authorUrl[https://bdfd.com]
$title[Created with BDFD]
$description[This bot was created with Bot Designer for Discord.]

Notes

• The URL is only sent when the same embed also has an author name ($author[]). The order of the two calls does not matter, but a URL without a name is dropped.
• The URL must be absolute (starting with http:// or https://).
