Plain Text Reply

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.

Reply to the command

In commands, by selecting this response type your plain text message will be sent as a reply to the command. This will show who used the command and what command triggered the response. This reply can be hidden by selecting Hide Replies in the command settings, which can be accessed by clicking on the root node of the command (the block with the yellow border).

Send the message to the Channel

This response type will send the message to either the channel the command was used in or the channel associated with an event in the event builder. By using this response type, the reply will look like a normal message sent by the bot.

Edit a message sent by another action

By selecting this response type you are able to edit the message sent by another action in the command or event tree.

To do so you must have another response action that your block can edit the reply of. Select another response action to be edited through the dropdown. A red outline will appear around the block that will be edited.

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.

Block Label

The "Block Label" is a text field that allows you to add a label to a block. This label serves as a brief description of the task being performed by the block and can be used to enhance the readability of the command tree.

By adding a block label, you can quickly identify the purpose of a block, making it easier to understand the function of the command/event. The block label is particularly useful when dealing with complex command trees that involve many actions and decision points.

Overall, the block label feature is a helpful tool for organizing and streamlining the command tree, allowing you to create more effective commands.
