Read an embed

The title, text, fields and pictures of a message's first embed, like another bot's post.

Basic plan message.read_embed

In a flow

“When a button is clicked, read an embed.”

When a message is sent by a bot → Read an embed → If Title contains Level up → ...

What it does

The title, text, fields and pictures of a message's first embed, like another bot's post. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 7 values later steps can use. Find it under Messages in the palette.

When to use it

Use it when the flow needs to the title, text, fields and pictures of a message's first embed, like another bot's post.

When not to

If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
