Help creating a discord webhook

I am trying to make a weebhook based off of this turorial

and the thing is, it works, just one problem, I want to make the weebhook send what the user sends, but when I set it to the player input as seen below it gives me this error:
HTTP 400(Bad Request).
If I set it to a pre-set string, it works. Any idea how to solve this.
Code:

local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local PlayerInput = game.StarterGui.PokeMessagingSystem.Frame.TextBox.Text
game.ReplicatedStorage["Discord webhook"].OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, msg, rec, send)	
	local Data = {
		["content"] = PlayerInput
	}
	Data = http:JSONEncode(Data)

	http:PostAsync("I HAVE DELETED THE WEBHOOK SO YOU CAN STOP SPAMMING @EVERYONE GEEZ", Data)
	print("Sent!")
end)

Can you try printing out the PlayerInput to know if its an issue with the textbox or with the content?

I suggest you remove your Discord Webhook URL from this post so people do not abuse it.

The issue is that PlayerInput is an empty string when the game first starts.

it is then probably nil, you can try calling tostring() on the playerinput variable to see if thats the issue

He is trying to get the text of a TextBox in StarterGui which is an empty string because when players input their own text, it changes the TextBox in their PlayerGui, not StarterGui.

The reason you are facing this is issue is a LocalScript can’t send HTTP requests and server scripts can’t see a player’s text input.

Fill in any other information about the post you want to make, then run this code in a Script (not a LocalScript).

Source: HttpService API Reference

This would require the use of a RemoteEvent to send data between the client and server. And for reference StarterGui is only a placeholder for a game’s GUIs. During run time the GUIs players see are stored in their Player instance.

Local Script

game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PokeMessagingSystem.Frame.TextBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(enterPressed)
     if enterPressed then
          game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.PokeMessagingSystem.Frame.TextBox.Text)
     end
end)

Server Script

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,text)
     local Data = {
		["content"] = text
	}
	Data = http:JSONEncode(Data)

	http:PostAsync("STOP SPAMMING @EVERYONE WITH THIS GEEZ", Data)
	print("Sent!")
end)

Along with what I said in previous replies; you are not filtering the text whatsoever, I recommend filtering the text before sending it to Discord.

This is not a localscript, I used a remoteevent

How do I get the string AFTER the text is entered?

Well your method of gathering the text is invaild since you are using StarterGui. You can’t do this 100% on the server and you will need a mix of server and local scripts.
