# general/nonspecific embed

embeds aren't limited to things such as rules or welcome messages, they can be used for *anything!* 

### ✎ step one

* create the embed by using `/embed create name:general_embed`
* you can name the embed anything you'd like, however we strongly recommend naming it something simple and easy to remember.

### ✎ step two

* let's start to edit the embed to our liking! 
* remember : you can either outright use these edit commands, or use the buttons + modals from creating your embed to have an interactive text form.

{% hint style="info" %}
you can edit any part of the embed to whatever you'd like! you can customize it to whatever you'd like to fit your server. this guide just goes through creating a common general embed.
{% endhint %}

* **editing the author:** `/embed edit author embed:general_embed text:{server_name} icon:{server_icon}`
* want something else for the author? just replace `{server_name} & {server_icon}` with whatever text/ image you'd like.
* note: if you'd like an image in your author, its link must be in the `icon:` section of the command  
* **editing the title:** `/embed edit title embed:general_embed title:learn about our server!`
* is this embed for something else? just replace `learn about our server` with whatever text you'd like c:
* **editing the description:** `/embed edit description embed:general_embed description:let's get comfy at {server_name} c:`

  `> owned by: {server_owner}`

  `> created on: {server_createdate}`
* is this embed for something else? just replace all the text after `general_embed` with whatever description text you desire.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Discord on PC/Desktop/select devices **do not** allow new lines in slash commands. If you're looking to have new lines/better spacing in your embed, we recommend either going through the text modal OR using the `{newline}` variable in place of where you want a new line to start.

* **editing our thumbnail:** `/embed edit thumbnail embed:general_embed image:{user_avatar}`
* **editing our image:** `/embed edit image embed:general_embed image:`[`https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/760988796249833472/907997718788603914/8E08317A-B423-43F5-8D50-CE505204532D.png`](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/760988796249833472/907997718788603914/8E08317A-B423-43F5-8D50-CE505204532D.png)

* **editing the footer:** `/embed edit footer embed:general_embed text:thanks for learning with me!`
* **adding a timestamp:** `/embed edit timestamp embed:general_embed timestamp:True`
* . . . and we're done! we've created a general embed for our server.
* we can either preview it in a channel using `/embed show embed:general_embed` or create an[ autoresponder](https://docs.mimu.bot/autoresponder/your-first-autoresponder#adding-an-autoresponder) for it.
