When and how to use it
Connect the input from the preceding step on the path that should perform this operation.
Fill the fields with data available in the trigger's context.
Connect the needed outputs; an unconnected path cannot run later blocks.
Configuration fields
Reply content — content
Enter message text and supported {variables}. Keep secrets out of visible output. Message layout is configured separately in the message editor when available.
Input: Text with variable suggestions.
Default:
Done!.Ephemeral — ephemeral
When supported by the interaction response, restrict visibility to the interacting user. A normal channel message cannot be made private by this switch.
Input: On/off switch.
Default:
true.Update the clicked message (buttons and menus) — updateMessage
For supported component interactions, edit the message containing the component instead of creating a separate reply.
Input: On/off switch.
Editor guidance: Edits the message the button or menu is on instead of sending a new reply.
Allow @everyone and role pings — allowPings
Enable mass mentions only when intentional. Untrusted text should not be allowed to ping everyone or arbitrary roles.
Input: On/off switch.
Editor guidance: Off: only members can be pinged, so text from users can never mass-ping.
Message editor
Alongside ordinary fields, configure text, embeds or Components V2 in this block's message editor. Add buttons/menus in the message and match their Custom IDs to their triggers. [Message guide](/docs/design).
