# Response

> This guide walks you through creating and managing **Custom Contents**. Custom Contents are used by multiple features such as **Welcomer**, **DM on Join**, and **Giveaways**.

### What Custom Contents do

Custom Contents let you define **reusable messages and embeds** that the bot can send automatically.\
You can control:

* Message text
* Embedded messages
* Variables and dynamic data
* Reuse across multiple features

Custom Contents allow you to change messages **without reconfiguring every command**.

## Step 1: Create new content

Start by creating a new piece of custom content.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Syntax theme={null}
  /content create <response_name> <content_type>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

* `response_name` is the name used to reference the content
* `content_type` defines how the content behaves

Examples include `gw` (giveaway), `welc` (welcomer), `doj` (dm on join), and other supported types.
You can select the types on the dashboard and in the slash command interface.

Choose a descriptive name so it's easy to recognize later.

## Step 2: Set the content message

After creating the content, define what it should send.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Syntax theme={null}
  /content message <response_name> [message]
  ```
</CodeGroup>

* `message` is the text sent when this content is used
* Leaving `message` empty clears the message

You can include variables such as:

* `{user.mention}`
* `{user.name}`
* `{server.name}`

Learn more about available variables in the [Variables Guide](/resources/variables).

## Step 3: (Optional) Customize an embed

If your content supports embeds, you can fully customize how it looks.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Syntax theme={null}
  /content embed <response_name>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

* Opens an interactive embed editor
* Allows you to customize title, description, colors, and fields
* Embeds can also contain variables

## Step 4: View your content

Preview your content before using it in a feature.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Syntax theme={null}
  /content view <response_name>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

* Shows the current message and embed
* Variables are previewed when possible

This is useful for catching mistakes early.

## Step 5: Use your content

Once created, your content can be used in:

* Welcomer
* DM on Join
* Giveaways

Example usage:

* `/welcomer content welcome-message`
* `/dm content welcome-dm`
* `/giveaway winner-message winner-message`

## Step 6: Edit content type (optional)

You can change how a content behaves after creation.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Syntax theme={null}
  /content type <response_name> <content_type>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

* Useful if you want to switch between message-based or embed-based content

## Step 7: Remove content (optional)

If a piece of content is no longer needed, you can delete it.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Syntax theme={null}
  /content remove <response_name>
  ```
</CodeGroup>

* This permanently removes the content
* Any features using this content will need to be updated

## Example setup

A typical setup might look like this:

* Create content named `welcome-message`
* Set a message using variables
* Customize an embed
* Assign the content to Welcomer

Commands used:

* `/content create welcome-message message`
* `/content message welcome-message Welcome {user.mention} to **{server.name}**!`
* `/content embed welcome-message`
* `/welcomer content welcome-message`

## Tips and best practices

* Use the dashboard for easier management and editing
* Use descriptive and easy to recognize content names
* Preview content before assigning it

## Troubleshooting

If content does not appear correctly:

* Make sure the content exists
* Verify the content type is correct
* Check variable spelling closely
* Use `/content view` to preview output
