Limits

ResourcePublicPrimeCustom
Saved embeds20501,000

The limit covers saved templates, not sends. When it's full, you can still send a draft without saving. One saved message holds one embed plus optional content.

If your server moves to a lower plan, only the oldest embeds within the limit stay available. They come back if you upgrade.

Save, send, and delete

  • Create saves a new template. Save updates one.
  • Send posts the current draft and returns a link. The draft doesn't need to be saved.
  • Disable hides a saved embed from other features' menus.
  • Export shows the message as JSON in Discord.
  • Delete removes the template after you confirm.

Import a message

Available on the Dashboard.

  1. Select Import Existing Message.
  2. Paste a Discord message link or CHANNELID-MESSAGEID.
  3. Select Import.
  4. Edit the draft, then save it or send it.

The message must be in this server and visible to Discortics.

Edit Original appears when Discortics sent the original message, and updates it without reposting. Messages from members, webhooks, or other bots can't be edited.

Welcome and leave messages

Saved embeds are separate from Welcome and Leave messages. Edit those in Dashboard → Welcome or with /settings welcome and /settings leave. See Welcome, Leave, and Autoroles.

Variables only work in Welcome and Leave messages. A normal send won't replace them.

Troubleshooting

I can send but not save. You've reached your saved-embed limit. Delete a template, upgrade, or send without saving.

An image isn't showing. Use a public, direct link to the image. A web page link won't work.

I can't edit the imported original. Only messages sent by Discortics can be edited. You can still import others as new drafts.

The Discord editor stopped responding. Run /settings embed again. Editor sessions last 30 minutes.
