Embeds Guide

The Embeds tool creates rich Discord messages with titles, descriptions, colours, images, fields, and other structured content. Saved embeds are independent templates that you can edit and send again later.

Use the Dashboard for a visual builder. Use /settings embed when you want to build and send a message without leaving Discord.

Create your first embed

Create an embed from the DashboardBuild the message with a live preview.

Open Dashboard → Embeds.
Select Create New Embed.
Enter a clear name such as Server Rules.
Add a title and description, then choose a destination channel.
Save the embed.
Select Send and check the message in Discord.

What embeds can include

Create and edit one rich embed per saved message.
Add optional plain message content above the embed.
Configure title, description, URL, colour, author, thumbnail, image, footer, timestamp, and fields.
Add up to 25 fields.
Save templates for reuse by other modules.
Send an unsaved draft even when the saved-template limit is full.
Export payload JSON from Discord.
Import an existing Discord message from the Dashboard.
Edit an imported original message when it was sent by the active Discortics bot.

Before you begin

You need Manage Server to use the editor.
Discortics needs View Channel, Send Messages, and Embed Links in the destination channel.
Image, thumbnail, author-icon, and footer-icon fields require direct http:// or https:// URLs; local files cannot be uploaded.

Saved Embed Limits

Resource	Public	Prime	Custom
Saved embeds	20	50	1,000

The limit applies to saved templates, not sends. When the limit is full, create or import a draft and send it without saving.

If a server moves to a lower tier, only the oldest embeds inside the current tier window remain available for configuration. Restoring the higher tier brings overflow embeds back into the window.

Create an Embed in Discord

Run /settings embed.
Select New Embed from the menu.
Select Name and send a recognizable template name.
Select Channel and choose the destination.
Edit the title, description, colour, and other sections.
Select Create to save the template, or Send to post the current draft.

When the panel asks you to send a value, respond within 60 seconds. Type cancel to keep the current value or clear to remove an optional value. Discortics attempts to delete your response after reading it.

Your Discord editor session lasts 30 minutes. Reopen /settings embed if it expires.

Discord Editor Options

Name

The saved-template name shown in embed menus. Use a clear purpose such as Welcome Card, Server Rules, or Event Announcement.

Channel

The text or announcement channel used by Send. Saving a template does not post it.

Content

Optional plain text displayed above the embed. Discord allows up to 2,000 characters. Content is useful for a member mention or short alert.

Title and URL

The title supports up to 256 characters. The URL makes the title clickable and must use HTTP or HTTPS.

Description

The main embed body. It supports Discord markdown and up to 4,000 characters in the Discord editor.

Colour

Enter a six-digit hex colour such as #5865f2 or 5865f2. This controls the coloured bar beside the embed.

Author

Author has three optional parts:

Name: Text shown above the title.
Icon URL: Small image beside the author name.
URL: Makes the author name clickable.

Thumbnail and Image

Thumbnail is the small image near the top-right. Image is the larger image below the embed content. Both require direct HTTP or HTTPS URLs.

Footer supports text and an optional icon URL. Use it for a source, short note, or status.

Timestamp

The Discord editor supports:

Dynamic: Uses the time when the message is sent.
Static: Uses a selected Discord timestamp or Unix timestamp.
None: Removes the timestamp.

Fields

Fields create labelled blocks inside the embed. Each field needs a name and value. Inline allows Discord to place compatible fields side by side.

You can add up to 25 fields. Use Fields → Remove to delete one.

Export

Export shows the current message payload as JSON. Large exports are split across several messages. Concatenate the chunks in order to reconstruct the payload.

Save, Send, Enable, and Delete

Save

Create saves a new template. Save updates the selected template. Saving checks the payload and supported welcome or leave variables.

Send

Send posts the current draft to its selected channel and returns a jump link. Sending does not require the draft to be saved.

Enable or Disable

Saved embeds can be enabled or disabled in the Discord editor. Disabled embeds stay stored but are hidden from cross-module selectors such as welcome and leave setup.

Delete

Delete removes the saved template after confirmation.

Warning: Deleting a saved embed cannot be undone. Messages already sent in Discord remain. Welcome and leave settings may retain a stored snapshot, but the deleted template cannot be selected again.

Dashboard Visual Builder

Open Dashboard → Embeds for a form-based editor with a live card for each saved embed.

The Dashboard supports the same message parts and shows validation errors beside invalid fields. It also provides actions not available in the Discord editor.

Create a Dashboard Draft

Select Create New Embed.
Expand the new card.
Enter a name and choose a channel.
Edit message content and embed fields.
Use the save bar to store it, or select Send on the card.

The page may disable the create button when your saved limit is full, but imported or existing drafts can still be sent without saving.

Import an Existing Message

Select Import Existing Message.
Paste a Discord message URL or CHANNELID-MESSAGEID.
Select Import.
Edit the new draft.
Save it as a template or send it to a selected channel.

The message must belong to the selected server and be accessible to Discortics.

Edit the Original Message

An imported draft shows Edit Original only when the original message is editable by the active Discortics bot.

Use this to update a previously posted Discortics message without deleting and reposting it. Messages sent by members, webhooks, or other bots cannot be edited.

Save Several Changes

The Dashboard save bar can save multiple dirty embed cards. If one fails, the page reports that some embeds could not be saved and reloads the current saved list.

Discard or Delete

Discard restores saved cards and removes new unsaved cards. Delete asks for confirmation and permanently removes one saved template.

Saved embeds and lifecycle messages

Saved embeds are independent templates. /settings welcome and /settings leave no longer provide a saved-embed selector. Edit those active messages directly:

Use Dashboard → Welcome & Leave for rich layouts and full previews.
Use Message in /settings welcome or /settings leave to replace the active message with plain text and supported variables.

Changing or deleting a generic saved embed does not change an active Welcome or Leave message. Read the Welcome, Leave, and Autorole guide for the current workflow.

Variables

Welcome and Leave messages may contain supported {{variable.name}} values. Variables render only when that lifecycle feature supplies their values. A normal manual send from the generic embed editor does not replace them.

See the Welcome and Leave variables table for supported names.
