Do you guys know where I can find any guides/documentation about writing webhooks in LUA that go into depth?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to see how flexible I can make webhooks in ROBLOX, but I can’t find anything online about advanced use of webhooks.

I’ve used this so far but its not LUA: Introduction - Discord Webhooks Guide

Most of the examples on that site are in json, and it’s really easy to convert json to lua.

Json (Reddit example off the site):

{
  "content": "{{Content}}",
  "embeds": [{
    "color": 16729344,
    "author": {
      "name": "u/{{Author}}",
      "url": "https://www.reddit.com/user/{{Author}}",
      "icon_url": "https://avatar-resolver.vercel.app/reddit/{{Author}}"
    },
    "title": "<<<{{Title}}>>>",
    "url": "https://www.reddit.com",
    "image": { "url": "https://www.reddit.com" },
    "footer": { "text": "r/{{Subreddit}} • Posted at {{PostedAt}}" }
  }]
}

Lua:

{
	content = "{{Content}}",
	embeds = {{
		color = 16729344,
		author = {
			name = "u/{{Author}}",
			url = "https://www.reddit.com/user/{{Author}}",
			icon_url = "https://avatar-resolver.vercel.app/reddit/{{Author}}"
		},
		title = "<<<{{Title}}>>>",
		url = "https://www.reddit.com",
		image = { url = "https://www.reddit.com" },
		footer = { text = "r/{{Subreddit}} • Posted at {{PostedAt}}" }
	}}
}

You can do the same thing for most other languages if you just get a minimal understanding of how the language is structured.
