The embed system allows you to send a message, under the name of John-Bot, that can be edited in the future. This message can be enriched with various options that a regular user cannot use.
Access the dashboard
First, go to the John-Bot dashboard through your preferred method. Learn how to do it: How to access the dashboard
Access settings
Next, look for Embed on the right column, below your server's logo and banner. You will now be on a page where you can access all the settings related to the embed system.
Create an embed
Before you start configuring your embeds, you need to create them. To do this, click on the Create an embed button located below the existing embeds if there are any.
Duplicate an embed
You can also create an embed from an existing one to retain the exact same settings and customize it. This avoids having to reconfigure all the settings for a minor difference between the two embeds. To do this, simply click on the Duplicate button corresponding to the desired embed and confirm your choice in the window that appears.
Edit an embed
To edit the settings of an existing embed, simply click on the Edit button corresponding to the desired embed.
Delete an embed
To delete an existing embed, simply click on the Delete button corresponding to the desired embed and confirm your choice in the window that appears.
Configure an embed
Once in the settings of an embed, you can configure many options to customize it according to your needs.
Once the configurations are completed, simply click on the green Save & Edit button located at the top right of the configuration window. If you do not want to save your changes, simply click Cancel.
Save and send an embed
If your embed has just been created, you will need to create it using the Create button located at the top right. You will then need to send it to the predefined channel using the Send button.
Message name
The message name allows server administrators to organize themselves in the John-Bot dashboard. It will not be visible to members. To set it, write it in the corresponding field.
Send channel
The send channel is the channel in which the message containing the embed will be sent. To set it, choose the desired channel using the corresponding selection menu.
Message
Text message
The text message is the text that will be displayed outside the embed, like a regular Discord user. You can use emojis and markdown¹ to customize your text. To disable the text message, leave the field blank.
