# Embeds

Embeds control how Formify's Discord messages look: colors, titles, descriptions, images, and footers.

You edit embeds in the dashboard. The bot sends them when you **publish** or when certain actions happen (approve, deny, ticket open, etc.).

## Where to find embed editors

| Resource | Path in dashboard |
|----------|-------------------|
| Form | **Forms** → form → **Embeds** |
| Form panel | **Form Panels** → panel → **Embeds** |
| Ticket template | **Tickets** → template → **Embeds** |
| Ticket panel | **Ticket Panels** → panel → **Embeds** |

## Form embed sections

For forms, you can usually customize:

- **Open Form** — the public message with the open button
- **Submission Output** — what staff see when someone submits
- **Ticket Open Header** — header when a ticket is created from the form
- **Approval** / **Denial** / **DM Response** — messages tied to moderator actions

Each section has its own fields. Not every field appears on every message type — stick to title, description, color, and footer unless you need images.

---

## Ticket embed sections

Ticket templates have more sections because the lifecycle is longer:

- Published button message
- Ticket opened, claimed, unclaimed
- Close request, denied close, closed
- Transcript message

Open the embed editor and pick the section from the list on the left (or tabs, depending on your screen size).

## When to republish

| Change | Republish needed? |
|--------|-------------------|
| Open form / panel / ticket button message | Yes — use **Publish** on the form, panel, or template |
| Submission output template | New submissions use the new template; old messages stay as they were |
| Approve/deny/DM embed text | Applies to the next action of that type |

If you edit an embed and the live Discord post looks unchanged, publish again from the manage menu.

## Images and attachments

- Form **questions** do not support inline images in the modal itself.
- You can allow **file attachments** on questions so members upload a file with their answer (configure on the question in the form editor).
- Embed **images** and **thumbnails** use URLs you enter in the embed editor.

---

## Components V2 / open button

Some forms support an updated open-form layout (Components V2). If your form editor shows that option, turning it on changes how the open button and layout render in Discord. Publish after toggling it.
