I’m working on a Discord bot using Python and I’m having trouble with embed formatting. I want to create an embed where the second field appears directly under the first one without showing a field name or title.
Right now my embed looks weird because both fields have visible titles. I need the second field to display its content without any header text above it.
Is there a way to hide the field name for the second field so it just shows the value content directly below the first field? I’ve tried different approaches but can’t get it to look right.
You can also use empty quotes “” instead of zero-width space to avoid unicode issues. I’ve seen servers where zero-width spaces show up as question marks or weird boxes depending on what client people use.
This keeps your field structure intact, which is handy for consistent spacing or if you’ll add more fields later. Empty string gives you the same look without the rendering problems. Works fine across Discord clients and won’t break with dynamic content.
Or just dump everything in the description instead of separate fields. Something like my_embed.description = "```welcome```\n```active```" and ditch add_field completely. Way simpler and you get better control over spacing.
another trick is using \u2800 (braille blank) instead of regular empty string - looks cleaner than zero-width and doesn’t break with some discord themes. been using this in my music bot for months without issues
I’ve had good luck combining fields with the embed description. Don’t try to hide field names completely - just put your main content in the description and only use fields when you actually need titled sections.
Try setting my_embed.description = "```welcome```\n```active```" - gives you that clean stacked look without messing around with invisible characters. Looks natural and you won’t run into problems if Discord changes how they handle zero-width spaces.
This method’s way more reliable for bots that need consistent formatting across servers. Plus the description approach works better on mobile where field spacing gets weird.
Invisible characters work, but they’re a nightmare when you need to scale or change embed layouts later. Been there, done that.
I built a proper embed management system with Latenode instead. Set up workflows that handle Discord formatting automatically - no more hardcoded field names or unicode characters breaking everything.
You can create templates for different embed types, add conditional logic for showing/hiding titles, and update everything from one spot. Want that clean stacked look? Just configure the workflow to output description text instead of fields.
Especially useful if you’re running multiple bots or need consistent formatting across servers. Change the template once, all embeds update instantly. Way cleaner than managing Python strings everywhere.
Both solutions work but get messy when you’re managing dozens of bots like I do. The zero-width space trick breaks with dynamic content, and using descriptions kills your formatting options.
I automated this whole thing with Latenode. Built a workflow that takes bot data and formats embeds however I want. Can set up templates, handle conditional fields, even A/B test different layouts.
Best part? When Discord changes their API or I need to update all bots at once, I just tweak the Latenode workflow instead of digging through dozens of Python files. Converted all our bots to this approach and it saves me hours every week.
Barely need to code. Just connect Discord API calls with your formatting logic and let it generate the embeds.
The \u200b is a zero-width space; Discord can’t see it but still treats it as a valid field name. Your second field will appear right below the first without any visible title. I’ve been using this approach for months, and it’s much cleaner than cramming everything into a single field.
