Documented steps

  1. After the initial callback (type 4 or 5), create followups: POST /webhooks/{application.id}/{interaction.token} with a message body (content, embeds, components…)
  2. Edit a followup: PATCH /webhooks/{application.id}/{interaction.token}/messages/{message.id}
  3. Delete a followup: DELETE /webhooks/{application.id}/{interaction.token}/messages/{message.id}
  4. The original response is addressable as message id @original on the same webhook path
  5. All of this must happen while the interaction token is valid — 15 minutes from the interaction
