Can you provide an example for discord embeds with vars?

[gryphonDev1]

Basically an example with how you did the sample png you show would be great, thanks!

      DISCORD_EMBEDS: '[{"title":"DIM - crowdin", "color": F37422, "url": "https://crowdin.com/project/destiny-item-manager","description": "${{ steps.i18n-diff.outputs.insertions }} translations have been added or changed on crowdin."  }]'

Can someone help-me? i cant send message with Embeds, becase i take this erro using this example:

      DISCORD_EMBEDS: '[{"title":"DIM - crowdin", "color": F37422, "url": "https://crowdin.com/project/destiny-item-manager","description": "${{ steps.i18n-diff.outputs.insertions }} translations have been added or changed on crowdin."  }]'

the documentations says:

DISCORD_EMBEDS (optional): This should be a valid JSON string of an array of Discord embed objects. See the documentation on Discord WebHook Embeds for more information. You can use set it to ${{ toJson(my_value) }} using toJson() if your input is an object value.

any example ?

This code worked.

name: Discord notification

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Discord notification
      env:
        DISCORD_WEBHOOK: ${{secrets.DISCORD_WEBHOOK}}
        DISCORD_EMBEDS: '[{ "title":"${{github.event.head_commit.message}}", "footer":{"text":"Pushed by ${{github.event.head_commit.author.name}}"} }]'
      uses: Ilshidur/action-discord@0.3.2

I just finished making an example that looks very nice. Hope you, and anyone else who uses this example enjoys!

Text under the following fields are hyperlinked.

Repository and Branch.

I have another workflow called, "github-variables.yml" to be able to get all of the Github Variables which contains the following contents.

name: Show GitHub context

on: [workflow_dispatch]

jobs:
  github:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Show GitHub context
        run: echo "$GITHUB_CONTEXT"
        env:
          GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}

The output of the aforementioned workflow starts like the following.

GITHUB_CONTEXT: {
    "token": "***",
    "job": "github",
    "ref": "refs/heads/xxx",
    "sha": "xxx",
    "repository": "xxx",
    "repository_owner": "xxx",
    "repository_owner_id": "xxx",
    "repositoryUrl": "xxx",

@NorkzYT thank you. It really saved me a lot of time.

[NorkzYT]

@irostub No problem mate.

[adiatma85]

This should have been in the readme.md file

[adiatma85]

Just ignore the mention, I accidentally copy the whole url in my PR for reference in the future

@NorkzYT @luisfun Thank you a lot for your responses, I found my mistake by looking at your code example (I was trying to use toJson and that returned the values contained in square brackets [ ]. Really appreciate the examples you both provided 👍
