These commands let administrators post messages as the bot: a quick announcement with !say, a formatted message (embed or container) built with a website form, or a banner generated with the title of your choice.
| Command | What it is for | Fluxer permission required |
|---|---|---|
!say | Send, edit or delete a bot message, or send it by DM | Administrator |
!create-embed, !edit-embed | Create or edit an embed | Administrator |
!create-container, !edit-container | Create or edit a container | Administrator |
!create-banner | Generate a banner | Administrator |
For richer or scheduled messages
The dashboard's message studio (Creation › Embeds / Containers) lets you compose a message with a live preview, send it as the bot or through a webhook with a custom name and avatar, and schedule it. The variables you can use are described in Message variables.

When the message is posted in the command's channel, your command is deleted: only the bot's message stays. Each use is logged in the Server logs channel.
How the message builder works
On Discord, /create-embed and /create-container open a private panel with buttons and input windows. On Fluxer, the same builder goes through a website form and a preview by direct message:
- Type the command in the channel where the message must be posted. The bot DMs you the form link (valid for 15 minutes).
- Fill in the form and submit: the page tells you the preview is in your DMs.
- Under the preview, click ✅ Send to post, ✏️ Edit to reopen the already filled form, or ❌ Cancel.
If your direct messages are closed, the link and the preview show in the channel (the preview for 5 minutes at most).
Creating or editing an embed

!create-container
The container form has five fields:
| Field | How to fill it |
|---|---|
| Text | The content in Markdown. A --- line on its own separates two blocks (a separator is added between them). |
| Thumbnail | https address of an image shown next to the first block. |
| Images | One https address per line (10 at most): the gallery under the text. |
| Buttons | One link button per line: Label | https://… (25 at most). |
| Color | Hexadecimal code of the side bar (#48D1E1). |
Containers and embeds on Fluxer
Fluxer doesn't display Discord's containers or buttons: the bot posts the container as an embed (the text, the thumbnail, the first image, then the other images below) and its buttons become links [Label](https://…). The day Fluxer adds these components, the same settings will give a real container.
!edit-containerEdits a container posted by the bot: the form opens filled with its text, thumbnail, images and color.

Generating a banner
!create-bannerGenerates a banner image with a styled title, on the community's welcome image (or Dispatch.IO's default image).
Syntax
!create-banner [title]Options
| Option | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
title | Text | No | The banner's title (25 characters at most). Without a title, the options form opens right away. |

The banner's preview arrives by direct message, with four reactions:
| Reaction | Effect |
|---|---|
| 🖼️ | Posts the banner in the channel, as a plain image |
| 📦 | Posts the banner in a container (an embed in the community's colors) |
| ⚙️ | Opens the options form: title, text effect (gradient, neon, none), font, alignment, text color, community name on the side, community icon, dark veil |
| ❌ | Cancels |
After changing the options, a new preview arrives.
