Messages
Build an embed or a component message once, save it, and reuse it anywhere Java Lava sends a message.
On this page
Overview
The Messages page is your message library. Design a message with the visual builder, with a live preview that looks like Discord, then save it and pick it wherever Java Lava lets you choose a message, such as welcome greetings, logs, ticket panels or social alerts.
There are two kinds. Saved messages are text and embeds. Component messages add buttons, select menus and other interactive pieces.
Setup
- 1
Open Messages
Choose Messages under Manage in the dashboard sidebar.
- 2
Pick a type
Switch between Saved messages and Component messages, then press the button to create a new one.
- 3
Design it
Write the text, add embeds, fields, images and colors, and watch the live preview update as you type. Placeholders such as {user} and {server} are filled in when the message is sent.
- 4
Save it
Give it a name you will recognize. It then shows up in the message picker across the dashboard.
- 5
Use it
In another module, such as Welcome or Tickets, choose your saved message from the picker.
