Syntax

$input[inputID]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`inputID`	Required. The custom ID of the modal input.

Return Value

Type: String
The value submitted for this input. For a multi-value input, the values are joined with a comma.
An error is raised if inputID is empty (“A modal input ID is required.”) or if no value exists for this ID (Modal input is unavailable: <inputID>.). The ID is matched exactly (case-sensitive).

Examples

$sendMessage[You wrote: $input[name]]

Notes

A bare $input (without brackets) is invalid: the argument is required.
Values are only available when the command is triggered by a modal submission.
To read the arguments of a prefix command, use $message (or $message[n]).
