Webhooks & Integrations webhookSend

$webhookSend

The $webhookSend function sends a message via a Discord webhook. It sends the data staged for that webhook by $webhookContent, $webhookTitle, $webhookDescription, $webhookFooter and $webhookColor, completed by the optional arguments below.

Syntax

$webhookSend[webhookURL;(content);(title);(url);(description);(color);(authorName);(authorIconURL);(footerText);(footerIconURL);(thumbnailURL);(imageURL);(timestamp)]

Parameters

Between 1 and 13 arguments are accepted; only webhookURL is required. An empty or omitted optional argument leaves what was staged untouched.

# Parameter Description
1 webhookURL Required. The full Discord webhook URL (https://discord.com/api/webhooks/ID/TOKEN). An invalid URL raises Invalid Discord webhook URL.
2 content Text of the message, 2000 characters maximum. If empty, content staged by $webhookContent is kept.
3 title Embed title, 256 characters maximum.
4 url Embed URL (http/https). It is applied to the title, so it has no effect without a title.
5 description Embed description, 4096 characters maximum.
6 color Embed color (same formats as $webhookColor).
7 authorName Embed author name, 256 characters maximum.
8 authorIconURL Embed author icon (http/https); only used when authorName is set.
9 footerText Embed footer text, 2048 characters maximum.
10 footerIconURL Embed footer icon (http/https); only used when footerText is set.
11 thumbnailURL Embed thumbnail (http/https).
12 imageURL Embed image (http/https).
13 timestamp yes/true adds the current time to the embed; no/false does nothing; any other non-empty value raises Invalid timestamp boolean.

Return Value

An empty string. The message is sent to the webhook and the staged data for this webhook is cleared.

Behavior

  • The message must contain text content or an embed field (other than only a color or a timestamp); otherwise Webhook message cannot be empty. is raised.
  • The total text of the embed (title, description, author name, footer text) cannot exceed 6000 characters.
  • Values passed as arguments override the corresponding staged values.
  • Staged data is detached before sending: a failed send does not replay it.
  • The webhook message is sent with mentions disabled: user, role and @everyone mentions in it do not ping.
