Text Mode
In this mode compiled message template will be sent to the channel as simple text just like you do it while chatting.
Embed Mode
In this mode compiled message template will be sent as Embed message. Its basic interface is almost the same as text mode added the embed description content and embed-related settings:
The embed color is the color of the borderline on the left of the embed. Everything else can be seen in the screenshot below, where all the settings are self-explanatory:
The "Author" and "Title" fields can contain a link, which can be specified in the "Author Url" and "Title Url" settings of the embed, respectively.
If you want to use images in embed, the links to these images must be direct. For example:
- https://imgur.com/a/zdoSlIO — is link to a website with an image, this link is not suitable;
- https://i.imgur.com/PaTD1ar.jpg — is direct link to the image. This is the exact link type you need.
If you want to embed a link in the text inside the embed template, you can do this by writing: [text](link) or just use link insert button.
Inline fields — these are fields that are inlined into the same row if possible.
You can use template variables inside any embed values. For example, if you want to replace the author's icon with the avatar of the member, insert {{ member.nickname }} in "Author" field and {{ member.avatarUrl }} in "Avatar Url" field.
Components Mode
In this mode compiled message only contains message components.
"Message Content Template" turns into "Preprocess Template". Content of this template will not appear in the result message, you can use it to define global variables or some kind of logic.
Please check Components article for more details about message components.
