Embed objects in Discord Webhooks

Help
1

I get an error message about my script. I read the documentation and applied it to my script, but it still doesn’t work. I wanted to write a Discord webhook message in Embed using structured mode. I also looked at the other topics and they didn’t answer my question. I hope there is enough data for you to tell what I did wrong.

const { embeds, username, avatar_url } = params

if (!content && !embeds) {
  throw new Error("This action expects a message OR an embeds param. Please enter one or the other from the params menu above")

return await require("@pipedreamhq/platform").axios(this, {

@switchplay7149 thanks for reaching out. The formatting of your Embeds param is slightly off, and that causes Discord to return an error message. You’ll need to change two things:

  1. Wrap the entire JSON in the Embeds param with {{ }}, like so:
{{ {
  "username": "Fall Guys",
  ...
} }}
  1. Everywhere you have a line that references a variable like this:
"name": "{{steps.trigger.raw_event.author}}",

you’ll want to remove the quotation marks and {{ }} around the variable:

"name": steps.trigger.raw_event.author,

The way you have it now, Pipedream sends the literal value "{{steps.trigger.raw_event.author}}" instead of the actual value that variable references (e.g. “Luke”).

Let me know if that helps.

      "fields": [

          "inline": true

      ],
      "thumbnail": {

      },
      "image": {

      },
      "footer": {
        "text": "Bereitgestellt von CENSORED",
        "icon_url": "https://www.pngall.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Copyright-Symbol-Free-PNG-Image.png"
        "timestamp": steps.trigger.raw_event.pubdate
      }
    }
  ]
} }}

Should it really start with {{ { and end with } }}? I don’t know my way around, but it looks { {{ more logical to me, or have I forgotten a detail again?

Maybe that’s it?
