I tried to do a bit of searching of my own, but I was unable to find anything. So I ask you guys, does anyone here know how to send an ephemeral message in discord.py?
this was what I was doing(I heard somewhere that this works, but it didnt):
await message.edit(content="Review submission cancelled.", embed=None ,ephemeral=True)
Thanks!
You can only send an ephemeral message as a response to an interaction, eg. as a response to a button click or a slash command using
interaction.response.send_message("Text", ephemeral=True)
You sadly can't send an ephemeral message if it's not responding to an interaction, and you also can't answer to the same interaction twice.
I have searched a little bit in the propositions that were made for the SlashContext.send and found this:
await ctx.send(text, hidden = True)
This should normally work because it worked for me. (I precise that it only works for slash commands and button interactions. So your message edit will not work I think)
Welcome :)
