You just send a post request to the webhook url with the content as JSON in the body of the request.

There are probably also some webhook libraries already made for C# Minimal example:

var client = new HttpClient();
var webhookUrl = "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/123123123/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
await client.PostAsJsonAsync(webhookUrl, new WebhookContent("Hello world!"));

record WebhookContent(string Content);

var client = new HttpClient();
var webhookUrl = "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/123123123/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
await client.PostAsJsonAsync(webhookUrl, new WebhookContent("Hello world!"));

record WebhookContent(string Content);

(obviously you should replace the webhookUrl string with your actual webhook URL)

ty btw what does record WebhookContent(string Content); do? oh i realize what is a record

Thinker•15mo ago

It's like a class, but it only has one property called Content

ElmishhOP•15mo ago

figured it out thanks

You could replace it with this instead if you wanted to

class WebhookContent
{
    public string Content { get; set; }

    public WebhookContent(string content)
    {
        Content = content;
    }
}

class WebhookContent
{
    public string Content { get; set; }

    public WebhookContent(string content)
    {
        Content = content;
    }
}

The 'await' operator can only be used within an async method. Consider marking this method with the 'async' modifier and changing its return type to 'Task'.

Kouhai•15mo ago

Yes, you can only await a Task<T> inside an async method

ElmishhOP•15mo ago

that doesnt tell me much

Kouhai•15mo ago

What does your code look like?

ElmishhOP•15mo ago

Kouhai•15mo ago

SendMessage needs to be async async Task SendMessage

ElmishhOP•15mo ago

alright ty
