$editMessage

Modifies an existing message sent by the bot. Replaces the content and/or the embeds and components of the target message.

Syntax

$editMessage[messageId;newContent]

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required
messageId	ID of the message to modify	Yes
newContent	New text content of the message	Yes

Description

$editMessage allows updating a message previously sent by the bot. Just like $sendMessage, the embeds and components built before the call are included in the modification.

The messageId can be obtained via:

• $sentMessageId after a $sendMessage
• A stored variable
• The ID of the triggering message ($messageID)

Examples

Simple edit

$editMessage[123456789012345678;Updated content!]

Edit after sending

$sendMessage[Original message]
$editMessage[$sentMessageId;Modified message!]

Edit with new embeds

$newEmbed[title=Update;description=The information has changed;color=#FFA500]
$editMessage[$sentMessageId;]

Edit with updated buttons

$addActionRow
$addButtonCV2[btn_done;Done;success;true]
$editMessage[$sentMessageId;Action completed ✅]

In $onInteraction

$onInteraction
$if[$customID==btn_edit]
  $editMessage[$messageID;Message edited by interaction]
$endif

Notes

• The bot can only modify its own messages.
• If newContent is empty and no embed/component is provided, the message may become empty (behavior depending on version).
• Embeds and components completely replace those of the original message.
• Use $sentMessageId right after $sendMessage to retrieve the ID of the last message sent.
