Structure of Webhook

Before using Webhooks you have to know the structure. All elements listed here are optional but you still need to use the content or embeds object at least once. This is the minimal requirement.

  • username - overrides the current username of the webhook
  • avatar_url - if used, it overrides the default avatar of the webhook
  • content - simple message, the message contains (up to 2000 characters)

  • embeds - array of embed objects. That means, you can use more than one in the same body

    • color - color code of the embed. You have to use Decimal numeral system, not Hexadecimal. You can use SpyColor for that. It has decimal number converter.

    • author - embed author object

      • name - name of author
      • url - url of author. If name was used, it becomes a hyperlink
      • icon_url - url of author icon

    • title - title of embed

    • url - url of embed. If title was used, it becomes hyperlink
    • description - description text

    • fields - array of embed field objects

      • name - name of the field
      • value - value of the field
      • inline - if true, fields will be displayed in same line, but there can only be 3 max in same line or 2 max if you used thumbnail

    • thumbnail - embed thumbnail object

      • url - url of thumbnail

    • image - embed image object
