App -> Pabbly -> Discord embed message

[krusher]

Hi,

i'm trying to build an app -> pabbly -> discord embed message via webhooks, but cant get messages to show up as embeds in discord..

I've used embed visualizer (https://leovoel.github.io/embed-visualizer/) to get the code and used a Custom Request (Webhooks) POST action on pabbly to send it over to discord as an embed but it doesnt work.
i only receive content part of the message, but not the embed part.

How can this be fixed? please help

Hey @krusher

As we can check your API by the Pabbly action step, it responding on Discord accordingly.

Hi, Thanks for the response. i've spent about 5-6 hours and after a lot of trial & error tries finally figured out a structure that works for discord embed message webhooks, thats why it is showing up

For anyone else in the community scrolling through similar webhook issues - it has to do with the way you structure DATA fields

@Supreme, could you please remove that screenshot, it contains sensitive info

@krusher Can you share some details of how you got this to work?
I'm a few hours in and can't figure this out.

The embed I'm wanting is not complex, but I'm trying to get a title, footer and a color for the left border with data extracted from email parser somewhere in between.

I'd really appreciate any info you can share on this.

Can anyone from Pabbly provide info on this?

Hey @Romain

The user might have used the API by Pabbly action step to perform the embedded operation.

You can refer to the following screenshot on the sample -

{ "embeds": [ { "title": "trdttt", "url": "www.pabbly.com", "color": 1, "footer": { "icon_url": "www.pabbly.com", "text": "test" }, "author": { "name": "Test", "icon_url": "https://sample-videos.com/img/Sample-jpg-image-100kb.jpg" }, "fields": [ { "name": "Status", "value": " 1. Status : Ok" }, { "name": "Ok test sample", "value": "5dsfsdf4s5df4s" }, { "name": "Test7458", "value": " 87s8df8sd4f89sd4f8sd4fsd" }, { "name": "From", "value": "sdf8sd4f8sd4f8sd4f8sd4f8dsf" }, { "name": "To", "value": "sd5f4sdf48s5df8sdf4s8df48sdf4s" }, { "name": "7e1f8se", "value": "787484", "inline": true }, { "name": "ds78fsd7f84e", "value": "test74558", "inline": true } ] } ] }

Further, we recommend you contact an automation expert who can create and manage such JSON as per your need.

@Supreme Thanks for your response. I'll look into it.

I'm sure by now people have figured it out but in case you haven't:

• Use Discohook to create your JSON template, usually this tool is for manually sending, it's community driven and updated regularly, even Discord discuss it. Here we cn take it one step further and automate it with Pabbly Connect.
• Once you've formatted your visual template grab the data from the JSON Data Editor button near the bottom of the page
• In Pabbly as mentioned above create the following from the API process:
  • Custom Event
  • Post Method
  • Connect discord webhook
  • JSON payload with no api wrap
  • no auth
• You can now paste your Data from Discohook and start replacing your template fields with whatever input data you're working with.

Be sure to put your data within the fields quotations

{
"content": null,
"embeds": [
{
"title": "TITLE",
"description": "DECSCRPT",
"url": "

https://example.com/TITLEURL

",

I just created the dummy text within Discohook to log the templates, maybe it easier to understand later.
