Documented steps

  1. Build an embed object: title ≤256 chars, description ≤4096, up to 25 fields (each name ≤256, value ≤1024), footer.text ≤2048, author.name ≤256
  2. Keep the combined total of title + description + all field names/values + footer + author across ALL embeds in the message ≤6000 characters
  3. POST /channels/{channel_id}/messages (API v10) with 'Authorization: Bot <token>' and body {"embeds": [embed]} — embeds is an array
  4. Set 'color' as a decimal integer (e.g. 16711680 for red), not a hex string
  5. If used, 'timestamp' must be an ISO8601 datetime string
  6. Official docs: https://docs.discord.com/developers/resources/message
