Embed not working

[jpaulkeller]

Hello. I've got a simple Discord/API bot, and it works fine. I'm trying to add some embeds, but no luck so far.

I created a simple embed:

  HelpEmbed.setTitle("Title", null);
  HelpEmbed.setDescription("This is a description");
  HelpEmbed.addField("Field)", "Field Value", false);
  HelpEmbed.setColor(Color.RED);
  HelpEmbed.setFooter("Footer");

I try to send it when the help command is invoked:

private void help(final MessageReceivedEvent event)
{
MessageChannel channel = event.getChannel();
MessageEmbed embed = HelpEmbed.build();
channel.sendMessageEmbeds(embed).queue();
}

I can send text with sendMessage fine, but sendMessageEmbeds seems to do nothing.

Are special permissions required? Or am I missing something else obvious?

I'm using JDA-5.0.0-alpha.11 (I've also tried 22).

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello,
I'm just trying to understand the problem are you trying to create an EmbedMessage like this:

EmbedBuilder builder = new EmbedBuilder();

builder.setTitle("Title");
builder.setDescription("This is a description");
builder.addField("Field)", "Field Value", false);
builder.setColor(Color.RED);
builder.setFooter("Footer");

channel.sendMessageEmbeds(builder.build()).queue();

I fixed it, thanks. I believe my problem was I had to enable "intents":

  builder.enableIntents(GatewayIntent.GUILD_MESSAGES, GatewayIntent.DIRECT_MESSAGES, GatewayIntent.MESSAGE_CONTENT);
