How can I modify my custom Discord bot to send an Embed containing a hyperlink?

I’m new to JavaScript and need assistance adding a command to my custom Discord bot called /betlink (user provided link). This command should allow the bot to send an Embed with a message formatted like this:

Input: /betlink (link from user)
Output: A message embedded that reads “Please click this link (user provided link) to place your bet on (Betting Platform).”

I would appreciate any guidance or code snippets that can help achieve this.

So far, I have written an Embed command that can return a fixed URL, but I require one that dynamically incorporates the URL provided by the user in their input. Here’s my existing code:

const { SlashCommandBuilder, EmbedBuilder, hyperlink } = require('discord.js'); 

module.exports = { 
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder() 
        .setName('betlink') 
        .setDescription('Sends an embed with a link to your betslip') 
        .addStringOption(option => 
            option.setName('url') 
                .setDescription('Your betslip URL') 
                .setRequired(true) 
                .setMaxLength(2000)), 
    async execute(interaction) { 
        const url = interaction.options.getString('url'); 

        const embed = new EmbedBuilder() 
            .setColor('Blue') 
            .setTitle(`Please ${hyperlink('click here', url)} to place your bet on FanDuel.`) 
            .setDescription('Verify all selections and odds before placing a wager. Gamble responsibly.') 
            .setTimestamp(); 

        await interaction.reply({embeds: [embed]}); 
    } 
};

Currently, I am receiving output like: ‘Please click here to place this bet on FanDuel.’

Hey, looks like you’re missing the correct dynamic link binding. Make sure the command is called correctly and the capturing of the url works. Also, try logging the url variable to see if it’s capturing what you expect. That should help debug where it’s going wrong.
