$userID

The $userID function returns the Discord ID (snowflake) of the user who triggered the execution of the command or interaction.

Syntax

$userID

Return Value

• Type: Snowflake (numerical string of 17-19 digits)
• Returns the unique ID of the user on Discord.

Behavior

• $userID takes no arguments.
• Always returns the ID of the user who interacted with the bot (via command, button, menu, modal, etc.).
• The ID is a permanent numerical string — it never changes, unlike the username.

Examples

Display the user ID

$title[Your User ID]
$description[**ID:** `$userID`]
$color[#5865F2]
$sendMessage[]

Use the ID in a condition

$if[$userID==123456789012345678]
  $sendMessage[Hello administrator!]
$else
  $sendMessage[Hello user!]
$endif

Difference with $authorID

• $userID: the user who triggered the interaction.
• $authorID: the author of the message (in the case of a message command).

In most simple cases, both are identical. In advanced contexts (workflows, interactions), $userID is recommended.

Notes

• The Discord ID is a permanent and unique snowflake.
• It is not possible to modify or delete a Discord ID.
• Use $userID in comparisons with $if[] to create commands reserved for specific users.
