🧭 Find your way around

A quick map of where everything lives.

🚪 Start here
#welcome — you are here
#rules — the house rules
#announcements — important updates

💬 Hang out
#general — everyday chatter
#introductions — say hello
#media — share your pics & clips

🛟 Need help?
#support — open a ticket
#faq — answers to common questions

Tip: long-press (or right-click) any channel to mute or favourite it.

Copy and paste the Discord Channel Guide text

This is the template's text as Discord markdown. Paste it into any channel and the headings, bold text, lists and subtext format exactly as they do in the preview; the card, layout and images come with the full template when you open it in DWEEB. The Discord text formatting guide explains every piece of syntax it uses.

Pairing with your welcome and rules messages

What's inside

Built with Discord's Components V2 layout system — the accent-striped card the Discord embed builder produces in place of a legacy embed:

Container with accent stripe
Formatted text
Separator

Tips

Every piece of text, colour, emoji and link is editable — open it in DWEEB and make it yours.
It posts through any Discord webhook. No bot or application-owned webhook is required for this static message.
Use the measured, high-fidelity preview to check the layout before you send.

How to use this template

Open it in DWEEB. Click “Use this template free” to load the template into the visual editor — no sign-up, no install.
Make it yours. Edit the text, colours, emoji, links and images to match your server. The live preview updates as you type.
Paste your webhook URL. In Discord, go to Server Settings → Integrations → Webhooks, copy a webhook URL, and paste it into DWEEB. See the full webhook workflow.
Send it. Review the live preview, then hit Send. You can also save it, share it as a link, schedule it, or export the message JSON.

Template JSON and compatibility

This example contains 2 top-level blocks and 7 components including nested blocks. Its text fields use 461 characters of the editor's message budget. The JSON below is exported from the same template that opens in DWEEB.

Import it through DWEEB's JSON panel, or adapt it for your own application. This is a Components V2 payload with flags: 32768, not a legacy embeds array. When executing a webhook yourself, include with_components=true in the request URL. See the Components V2 JSON reference for delivery requirements.

The layout can be sent through an ordinary incoming webhook. Link buttons open their URLs; they do not run a bot action.

Replace example text, images, links and any server placeholders before posting. Discord does not expand DWEEB placeholders when you send raw JSON from your own code. Review allowed mentions before sending text that names users or roles.

Use this template in a bot

The same message as a discord.js or discord.py bot sends it. Both are generated from the template above by DWEEB's code generator; for a cURL, JavaScript or Python webhook request, open the template with the Code tab.

discord.js code

// Components V2 message — discord.js v14.19 or newer.
// Designed in DWEEB (https://dweeb.faizo.net). Edit the text, then send.
