Sending an embed with a webhook
- In Discord, open Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks and create a webhook. Copy its URL.
- Build the embed here and click "Copy JSON".
- Send the JSON with a POST request to the webhook URL (for example with a webhook tool, a bot, or
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @embed.json URL).
Embeds can only be sent by webhooks and bots — a normal user account can’t post them.
FAQ
Why doesn’t my header work?
Headers must be at the very start of a line and need a space after #. They also don’t work inside embed titles.
Is the preview exact?
It closely follows Discord’s dark theme, but fonts and spacing can differ slightly between the desktop and mobile apps.
