While the Send a Message with a select menu action block is still available for use in all commands and events, it is considered old and has been replaced by the Send or Edit a Message action block. We advise you to use the Send or Edit a Message block instead, which offers more functionalities and possibilities for your message.
If you cannot see the Send a message with a select menu action block in your actions list, disable the setting.
The "Send a message with select menu" block sends a text or embed message to a channel with a Select Menu. Each option in the Select Menu can have its own attached actions and name.
This message action also has the option of being an embed or plain type.
Reactions can be added onto both the Plain Text message or Embed message. Reactions can be added by using the selector field below the area to create the message.
These reactions will be automatically added to the message.
You can also create your own variable that can be used anywhere in the command to get the ID of the message sent by the action. This is useful when using Send an API Request in your command / event and you need the ID of the message. Make sure that the name of the variable does not correspond to the name of a default variable or of an another action.
The message will be sent to the channel specified in either the Channel ID / or the specific channel dropdown, just like the Send a message to a channel action.
The message will be sent through a direct message to a given or that contains the user id. Keep in mind it has to be a plain user ID with no extra symbols or spaces.
The placeholder text ( may be used) of the menu. It will look like this:
responses in the form of replies can be hidden so that only the person who selected the menu option sees them. This can be also chosen separately in any Reply Action by editing the main(yellow) block. By default, replies are shown to everyone.
