I’m encountering a problem where the content in the <code>content</code> field is being transmitted as plain text. However, the fields for <code>username</code> and <code>avatar_url</code> seem to function correctly. I want the content to be embedded properly in Discord, similar to how it’s shown in my webhook setup. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue?
Embedding content into a Discord channel with webhooks can indeed be tricky in Zapier. I’ve found that the order or structure of the JSON can sometimes cause an issue. It’s important to ensure that your JSON object is correctly formatted as Discord is quite specific about how it parses data. Utilize Discord’s API documentation to cross-check your JSON object structure—such as the embeds array; it needs to be included and properly formatted for the embedding to work. Keeping it clear of any unnecessary or malformed fields usually helps resolve such issues.
I’ve had a similar issue in the past and managed to solve it by tweaking the settings in Zapier. Ensure that you’re using the embeds JSON object within your Zap setup instead of relying solely on the content field. The embeds field allows for rich embedding as it’s specifically designed for that purpose in Discord webhooks. Double-check the formatting and structure to ensure it’s aligned with Discord’s specifications. Sometimes small syntax errors can prevent the embed from being displayed correctly.
Have u tried using backticks within Zapier’s webhook “content” to send markdown? Markdown might help generate certain embed styles depedning on the Discord settings. Sometimes it’s jus a matter of how u structure ur content within those backticks. Give it a shot!
