When and how to use it
This is a legacy block retained for existing projects. Do not choose it for new flows. Follow the replacement described above; old standalone component blocks do not send buttons or menus.
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
Channel — channel
Choose the channel this block targets or filters. Use its Discord ID or a supported channel variable. Check channel overrides for the bot.
Input: Text.
Format example, not a ready value for your server:
{channel}.Default:
{channel}.Message above embed — 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: ``.
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:
false.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).
