How to get discord bot to read embed

I understand how a discord bot can read a regular user inputed message and respond using



if(message.content.toLowerCase().includes('cyber'))
message.channel.send("Key Word Detected ");


But it won't read the message if it is an embed. Please help me change that to look for the keyword in a embed message and elicit a response from the bot.

  • Are you sure that embed.Message exists ? For me, after looking at this guide, it seems like an embed is a list of fields, so I would do something like fields = message.embed.fields; len = fields.length; for var i in range(len){ if fields[i].value.contains('cyber')...

This should be it, checking for all embeds in the message too



if(message.content.toLowerCase().includes('cyber'))
message.channel.send("Key Word Detected ");
else {
for(var i = 0; i < message.embeds.length; i++) {
if(message.embeds[i].title.includes("cyber") || message.embeds[i].title.includes("cyber")) {
message.channel.send("Detected");
break;
}
}

    The text in a MessageEmbed can be in author, description, footer, message.content and title. They can also be inside every filed, so might want to check for all that stuff.

    Here's a little function you could use (I know it seems a mess but it's just because there are a lot of logical operators):





    /*
    message {Discord.Message}: the message you want to search in
    target {string}: the string you're looking for
    {
    caseSensitive {boolean}: whether you want the search to be case case-sensitive
    author {boolean}: whether you want to search in the author's name
    description {boolean}: whether you want to search in the description
    footer {boolean}: whether you want to search in the footer
    title {boolean}: whether you want to search in the title
    fields {boolean}: whether you want to search in the fields
    }
    */
    function findInMessage(message, target, {
    caseSensitive = false,
    author = false,
    description = true,
    footer = true,
    title = true,
    fields = true
    }) {
    if (!target || !message) return null;
    let str = caseSensitive ? target : target.toLowerCase();

    if ((caseSensitive && message.content.includes(str)) ||
    (!caseSensitive && message.content.toLowerCase().includes(str))) return true;

    for (let embed of message.embeds) {
    if ((caseSensitive && (
    (author && embed.author.includes(str)) ||
    (description && embed.description.includes(str)) ||
    (footer && embed.footer.includes(str)) ||
    (title && embed.title.includes(str)))) ||
    (!caseSensitive && (
    (author && embed.author.toLowerCase().includes(str)) ||
    (description && embed.description.toLowerCase().includes(str)) ||
    (footer && embed.footer.toLowerCase().includes(str)) ||
    (title && embed.title.toLowerCase().includes(str))))
    ) return true;

    if (fields)
    for (let field of embed.fields) {
    if ((caseSensitive && [field.name, field.value].includes(str)) ||
    (!caseSensitive && [field.name.toLowerCase(), field.value.toLowerCase()].includes(str))) return true;
    }
    }

    return false;
    }


    The functions returns true when finds the word you put in, false when it doesn't find it and null when one of the non-optional arguments is missing.

    You can use it like this:



    if (findInMessage(message, 'cyber')) message.channel.send("Key word detected.");


    There are some instructions at the top, hope this helps ;)

                  The text in a MessageEmbed can be in author, description, footer, message.content and title. They can also be inside every filed, so might want to check for all that stuff.

                  Here's a little function you could use (I know it seems a mess but it's just because there are a lot of logical operators):





                  /*
                  message {Discord.Message}: the message you want to search in
                  target {string}: the string you're looking for
                  {
                  caseSensitive {boolean}: whether you want the search to be case case-sensitive
                  author {boolean}: whether you want to search in the author's name
                  description {boolean}: whether you want to search in the description
                  footer {boolean}: whether you want to search in the footer
                  title {boolean}: whether you want to search in the title
                  fields {boolean}: whether you want to search in the fields
                  }
                  */
                  function findInMessage(message, target, {
                  caseSensitive = false,
                  author = false,
                  description = true,
                  footer = true,
                  title = true,
                  fields = true
                  }) {
                  if (!target || !message) return null;
                  let str = caseSensitive ? target : target.toLowerCase();

                  if ((caseSensitive && message.content.includes(str)) ||
                  (!caseSensitive && message.content.toLowerCase().includes(str))) return true;

                  for (let embed of message.embeds) {
                  if ((caseSensitive && (
                  (author && embed.author.includes(str)) ||
                  (description && embed.description.includes(str)) ||
                  (footer && embed.footer.includes(str)) ||
                  (title && embed.title.includes(str)))) ||
                  (!caseSensitive && (
                  (author && embed.author.toLowerCase().includes(str)) ||
                  (description && embed.description.toLowerCase().includes(str)) ||
                  (footer && embed.footer.toLowerCase().includes(str)) ||
                  (title && embed.title.toLowerCase().includes(str))))
                  ) return true;

                  if (fields)
                  for (let field of embed.fields) {
                  if ((caseSensitive && [field.name, field.value].includes(str)) ||
                  (!caseSensitive && [field.name.toLowerCase(), field.value.toLowerCase()].includes(str))) return true;
                  }
                  }

                  return false;
                  }


                  The functions returns true when finds the word you put in, false when it doesn't find it and null when one of the non-optional arguments is missing.

                  You can use it like this:



                  if (findInMessage(message, 'cyber')) message.channel.send("Key word detected.");


                  There are some instructions at the top, hope this helps ;)
