Message Builder
The message builder feature within DaalBot’s dashboard allows server administrators to create and customize rich messages using Discord’s Components V2 format.
Messages can be built using either a visual editor through the dashboard interface called Hex (our homemade solution) or by directly inputting JSON code for more advanced users or external tools like discord.builders.
Accessing the Message Builder
Section titled “Accessing the Message Builder”To access the message builder, navigate to the DaalBot Dashboard and select your server. From there, select the “Message Builder” option under tools.
Input Methods
Section titled “Input Methods”The message builder supports two primary input methods:
- Hex: A simple to use visual editor that allows you to create messages without ever needing to touch technical details such as JSON.
- JSON: For users familiar with Discord’s Components V2 format (or using external tools), you can directly input JSON code to define your message structure.
Caveats
Section titled “Caveats”- The message builder doesn’t currently support editing messages that have already been sent. You will need to create a new message if you wish to make changes. (We are working on adding this feature in the future!)
- We do not check for JSON validity. If you input invalid JSON, the message will fail to send. Make sure to validate your JSON and ensure it adheres to Discord’s Components V2 format.
- Hex isn’t perfect and may have some limitations or bugs. If you encounter any issues, please report them to us, so we can improve the tool.
- Due to Discord limitations, messages created with the message builder cannot exceed 2000 characters in length.
