Plain Text Reply
While the Plain Text Reply action block is still available for use in all commands and events, it is considered old and has been replaced by the Send or Edit a Message action block.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.
The Plain Text Reply action when triggered responds with a simple plain text message. This message can either reply to a command, be sent to the channel the command was used in, sent to a channel associated with an event, or edit a message sent by another action. All variables and options can be used in the content of the reply.
Content
The content of the action is the actual message that the bot should reply with when the action is triggered. You can use any variable or option in the content of this reply. These can be easily added through the variable selector by clicking the Clipboard button.
Response Type
The Plain Text Reply action has three response types that change how the message of the action is sent. Below you can find detailed information about each response type and how it can be used.
Reactions
Reactions can also be added to the plain text reply. These can be added by clicking the reactions dropdown and selecting emojis.
These reactions will be automatically added to the plain text reply.
Optional Variable
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.
You can copy the variable by clicking the clipboard icon in the section right below the optional variable field.
