Sending messages is the thing bots do most. DogeBot gives you a few ways.

​
The message blocks

There are also blocks to send a message to a channel, send a direct message, send a random answer from a list, and to edit, delete, pin, publish and react to messages. Search the block list for those words.

​
Response type

In a message block, the Response type says how the bot answers:
  • In commands: Reply to the command.
  • After a button or menu: Reply to the command or button/menu interaction. This only appears when the message comes after a button or menu block.

​
Pictures in messages

Every picture box in a message has Upload image and Your uploads. You can upload PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP pictures up to 8 MB each. In a Layout message, a Media Gallery takes up to 10 pictures at once. Uploads count toward your bot’s storage. Want a picture made just for this person, like a welcome card with their name? Use Card Studio and {card}. See Send a card from your bot.

​
Building a Layout message

The Layout message builder has four parts:
  1. The parts list on the left: text, sections, pictures, galleries, separators, buttons and menus.
  2. Your message in the middle. Type straight into a text part; each shows up to 5 lines.
  3. Settings for the part you picked, with the character count and Insert a variable.
  4. Live preview on the right, so you see what Discord will show.

​
The Message Builder page

The Message Builder page (under Build) lets you design messages and save them, so you can use the same message in many commands and events.

​
Import JSON

Made a message somewhere else? Press Import JSON, then paste it or drop in a .json file. DogeBot checks it and tells you clearly if something is wrong.

​
Putting values in messages

Any text box can show values like the person’s name. Press Variables (or Insert a variable), or type them in curly brackets, like {user_name}. See Show a variable in a message.

​
Editing a message later

When you edit a message the bot sent before, the editor starts from the original message, so you only change what you need. Use Buttons and menus to change buttons. See Buttons and menus.
