Issue using embeds with discord webhooks (error 400)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello!

I’m currently having an issue using Discord webhooks. I am trying to make a modcall request system, however the issue is that it always errors with error 400. I’ve tried looking up how to use embeds within Discord and I followed them so this should work but doesn’t.

I know my webhook isn’t the issue as I’m able to post a standard message (just using content) without an issue, any help?

modcall.OnServerInvoke = function(player, information) --  I am going to add a cooldown later, no worries about that
	local data = {
		['embeds'] = {
			['author'] = {
				['name'] = player.Name;
				['url'] = 'https://www.roblox.com/users/'..player.UserId..'/profile';
				['icon_url'] = 'http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=150&y=150&Format=Png&username='..player.Name;
			};
			['description'] = 'test'
		};
	};
	data = httpService:JSONEncode(data)
	httpService:PostAsync(modcallURL, data) -- modcallURL is the webhook link
end

TIA for any help! :smile:

The issue is simple, you didn’t make a proper request
embed

local data = {
    ['embeds'] = {
        {
            ['author'] = {
                ['name'] = player.Name;
                ['url'] = 'https://www.roblox.com/users/'..player.UserId..'/profile';
                ['icon_url'] = 'http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=150&y=150&Format=Png&username='..player.Name;
            };
            ['description'] = 'test';
        }
    };
};

This is what you should be doing. The embeds array should contain the embed objects. In your script, it was an embed object itself.

Ah okay, got it. Thanks for that, I wasn’t sure where I was going wrong but now I see the issue.
