When trying to send a Discord.js embed, I'm getting a "DiscordAPIError: Invalid Form Body
embeds[0].description: This field is required" error. Does anyone know why this is happening? I suspect this might be an issue with the source code. I'm using Discord.js v13, and I copied the embed straight off of the Discord.js guide website:
const exampleEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
.setColor(0x0099FF)
.setTitle('Some title')
.setURL('https://discord.js.org/')
.setAuthor({ name: 'Some name', iconURL: 'https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png', url: 'https://discord.js.org' })
.setDescription('Some description here')
.setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png')
.addFields(
{ name: 'Regular field title', value: 'Some value here' },
{ name: '\u200B', value: '\u200B' },
{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
)
.addFields({ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true })
.setImage('https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png')
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter({ text: 'Some footer text here', iconURL: 'https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png' });
outputChannel.send({ embeds: [exampleEmbed] });
Thanks!
You can't use EmbedBuilder in discord.js v13 because this is a discord.js v14 constructor. Just change it to MessageEmbed and it should work.

I've tried writing a discord bot, nearly finished it but this error just appeared and I don't know what's wrong with the code.
The Error:
DiscordAPIError: Cannot send an empty message

}
The code:
module.exports = {
name: 'command',
description: "Embeds!",
execute(message, args, Discord) {
const newEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#FF0000')
.setTitle('This is a title.')
.setURL('https://www.youtube.com')
.setDescription('This is an embed.')
.addFields(
{name: 'Field 1', value: 'Text 1'},
{name: 'Field 2', value: 'Text 2'},
{name: 'Field 3', value: 'Text 3'}
)
.setImage('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Gull_portrait_ca_usa.jpg')
message.channel.send(newEmbed);
}
}
What's the problem?
As of discord.js v13 embeds are sent via the MessageOptions object passed to the send method.
Updated code would be:
message.channel.send({embeds: [newEmbed]});
Documentation:
BaseGuildTextChannel#send takes
<MessageOptions> extends <BaseMessageOptions>
I am trying to create an embed and I pasted the code straight from the discord.js guide right into the code but it's not working and I can't figure out why it's wrong. The code and error are below
module.exports = {
name: 'infotest',
description: 'infotest',
execute(message, args) {
const exampleEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#0099ff')
.setTitle('Some title')
.setURL('https://discord.js.org/')
.setAuthor('Some name', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png', 'https://discord.js.org')
.setDescription('Some description here')
.setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.addFields(
{ name: 'Regular field title', value: 'Some value here' },
{ name: '\u200B', value: '\u200B' },
{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
)
.addField('Inline field title', 'Some value here', true)
.setImage('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter('Some footer text here', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png');
channel.send(exampleEmbed);
},
};

Read your error, you have to define the variable Discord. Just use require() to use the discord.js module.
When I code the embed, it doesn't work
module.exports = {
name: 'ping',
description: 'it shows the servers ping',
execute(message, args, Discord) {
const newEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#00A6FF')
.setTitle('Ping')
.setURL('https://discord.gg/X9cpCJ8F5J')
.setDescription('Test')
.setFooter('Test');
message.channel.send(newEmbed);
}
}
No errors, doesn't send the embed doesn't even send a message, no message and no errors
If you use discord.js:
You can use this code instead (official manual of discord.js):
const exampleEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#0099ff')
.setTitle('Some title')
.setURL('https://discord.js.org/')
.setAuthor('Some name', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png', 'https://discord.js.org')
.setDescription('Some description here')
.setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.addFields(
{ name: 'Regular field title', value: 'Some value here' },
{ name: '\u200B', value: '\u200B' },
{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
)
.addField('Inline field title', 'Some value here', true)
.setImage('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter('Some footer text here', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png');
channel.send(exampleEmbed);
If you use discord.py:
You can use this code instead (I tested with my bot also):
if message.content.startswith("!command"):
embed=discord.Embed(title="ping", description="Test", color=0x00A6FF)
embed.set_author(name="Test", url="https://discord.gg/X9cpCJ8F5J", icon_url="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/541913766296813570/672624076589760512/DRG.png")
embed.set_footer(text="Test")
await message.channel.send(embed=embed)
I get error embed.description is not a function and I dont know why
I try to do command that write a random command
name: 'random game',
description: "All commands",
execute(message, args, Discord){
const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
let Games = [
"Fortnite",
"Overwatch",
"Among us",
"Rocket league",
"Fall guys",
"Spellbreak",
"Counter Strike Global Offensive",
"Minecraft",
"Valorant",
]
embed.setTitle("Random Game");
embed.description(`You should play ${(Games[Math.floor(Math.random() * (Games.length))])}`);
embed.setColor("RANDOM");
return message.channel.send(embed)
}
}
If you need embed help, the Discord.JS docs can be very helpful.
Here is a sample embed that uses every method in the #messageEmbed() obj:
// at the top of your file
const Discord = require('discord.js');
// inside a command, event listener, etc.
const exampleEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#0099ff')
.setTitle('Some title')
.setURL('https://discord.js.org/')
.setAuthor('Some name', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png', 'https://discord.js.org')
.setDescription('Some description here')
.setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.addFields(
{ name: 'Regular field title', value: 'Some value here' },
{ name: '\u200B', value: '\u200B' },
{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
)
.addField('Inline field title', 'Some value here', true)
.setImage('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter('Some footer text here', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png');
channel.send(exampleEmbed);
Also, your error (as mentioned above) is that it is #setDescription()
First I'd like to point out that I just started learning discord.js a month ago, so my code is probably all wrong and I understand that.
I'm trying to learn how to write embeds, but a whole ton of stuff doesn't work, mainly because I don't know where to put everything.
In my main js file, I have the following:
} else if (command == 'embed') {
client.commands.get('embed').execute(message, args);
}
And in my embed.js file, I have all of this code which doesn't work at all.
module.exports = {
name: 'embed',
description: 'example embed.',
const exampleEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#0099ff')
.setTitle('Some title')
.setURL('https://discord.js.org/')
.setAuthor('Some name', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png', 'https://discord.js.org')
.setDescription('Some description here')
.setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.addFields({
name: 'Regular field title',
value: 'Some value here'
}, {
name: '\u200B',
value: '\u200B'
}, {
name: 'Inline field title',
value: 'Some value here',
inline: true
}, {
name: 'Inline field title',
value: 'Some value here',
inline: true
}, )
.addField('Inline field title', 'Some value here', true)
.setImage('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter('Some footer text here', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png');
channel.send(exampleEmbed);
}
Thank you for listening to this. I'd love for anyone to help.
You are trying to export a MessageEmbed in the module.exports, but you need to export a function called execute.
module.exports = {
name: 'embed',
description: 'example embed.',
execute: (message, args) => {
const exampleEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setColor('#0099ff')
.setTitle('Some title')
.setURL('https://discord.js.org/')
.setAuthor('Some name', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png', 'https://discord.js.org')
.setDescription('Some description here')
.setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.addFields({
name: 'Regular field title',
value: 'Some value here'
}, {
name: '\u200B',
value: '\u200B'
}, {
name: 'Inline field title',
value: 'Some value here',
inline: true
}, {
name: 'Inline field title',
value: 'Some value here',
inline: true
}, )
.addField('Inline field title', 'Some value here', true)
.setImage('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png')
.setTimestamp()
.setFooter('Some footer text here', 'https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png');
message.channel.send(exampleEmbed);
}
}
