Step-by-step flow recipes

Connect Slash Command (name=help) → Reply (content=Choose a command from the menu., ephemeral=true). Publish and run /help. Expected: only the caller sees the reply. If it is absent, check publication before editing message styling.

Send a message with a button whose Custom ID is get_news. Add Button Click (customId=get_news) → Add Role (user {user}, a fixed harmless news role) → Reply (ephemeral=true). The bot needs Manage Roles and a higher role. Expected: the clicking member gets only that fixed role. Test with a non-admin; do not accept an unrestricted role supplied by the user.

Connect Slash Command → Show Modal (customId=feedback_form, title “Feedback”). Add the form's input fields in its editor. Create Modal Submit with exactly feedback_form, then Reply with a private acknowledgement. Expected: the initial command opens the form and submitting triggers a separate response. Do not place an initial Reply or Defer Reply before Show Modal.

Connect Slash Command → Defer Reply → HTTP Request to a public HTTPS read endpoint → Reply. Configure the response prefix and use the block's supported output fields. Connect failure output, when offered, to a short error response. First use an endpoint without credentials; later add secrets through supported configuration, never inline in a public message.

Member Joined → Send Message (fixed welcome channel, Welcome {user}!). Enable member intent and publish. Expected: a real joining member receives a channel greeting; Reply is not the right block because no interaction exists.
