# rules embed

### ✎ step one

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

### ✎ step two

* now we can edit the details of our 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.
* edit the author to the server's icon and name by using `/embed edit author embed:rules_embed text:{server_name} icon:{server_icon}`
* edit the title by using `/embed edit title embed:rules_embed title:our rules & guidelines!`
* edit the thumbnail to the server's icon by using `/embed edit thumbnail embed:rules_embed image:{server_icon}`
* edit the description of the embed! remember that you can replace the rules with your own worded rules, this is just a template!\
  `/embed edit description embed:rules_embed description:read below to learn our rules!`\
  `1) no nsfw content allowed in the server.`\
  `2) please do not spam`\
  `3) keep the chat lighthearted always`\
  `4) follow Discord's ToS`\
  `5) please don't advertise!`

{% 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.
{% endhint %}

* you can add a timestamp by using `/embed edit timestamp embed:rules_embed timestamp:True`
* edit the footer of the embed by using `/embed edit footer embed:rules_embed text:rules created on {date}. . .`
* edit the color of your embed by using `/embed edit color embed:rules_embed color:#feeee8`
* lastly, you can edit the image of the embed by using `/embed edit image embed:rules_embed image:`[`https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/755410733893681204/946492559725850634/rules-discord.png`](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/755410733893681204/946492559725850634/rules-discord.png)
* if you followed this, you should get something like:

### ✎ step three

* now, you can display your embed in your rules channel!
* make sure mimu has the proper permissions in your rules channel. then, run:\
  `/embed show embed:rules_embed`
* mimu will then show your embed, as shown below!

{% hint style="warning" %}
mimu CANNOT edit the posted embed in the channel. in order to edit the embed again, you would need to edit it using `/embed edit` and have to repost it with the new edits in the channel
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
premium servers are able to use `/embed show webhook:`option, which sends the embed as a webhook instead.
