The /form create
command sends a message that has buttons which when clicked by the user open different forms. You will provide your configuration for the forms and the message in the json parameter of the command as a json file attachement. You can create a blank text file, paste in the json and change the files ending to .json
or you can create a json file in vscode. Whatever works for you.

The default submission messages look like this:
To customise this message you can add a submit_message
in a form
object where you want to customise the submission. This submit_message
is a discord message object and you can use variables in it.
To separately customise the direct message and guild submission message use dm_submit_message
and guild_submit_message
instead. You can set dm_submit_message
to null
to remove the dm submission message message completely.
You can also use conformation_message
if you prefer a ephemeral reply to the form submission. ("flags": 1 << 6
is set by default)
Note that using this will disable the default dm submission message, which you can re-enable using dm_submit_message
if you wish.
