Inline Replies #2118

msciotti · 2020-10-02T00:22:39Z

These changes are not yet merged or deployed for everyone. It will be about 3 weeks before this feature is complete, so this is simply a heads up!

API support for inline replies! Be mindful of the different types between v6 and v8. We did this so as to not make breaking changes in v6.

While a new type is generally not a breaking change, in this case, not handling the new type would mean missing out on a lot of messages in chat for things like moderation bots, and we didn't want to break that.

v8 is still new and not default yet, so we felt comfortable using a new type there.

EDIT 10/28: some changes to required fields and new allowed_mentions behavior: #2118

advaith1 · 2020-10-02T00:28:03Z

🤔 seems weird to document the reply behavior in the gateway events instead of just the message object instead, unless they don't show in rest?

also I added more message_reference details in #2053 so I'll update that to include reply details

gBasil · 2020-10-02T00:28:07Z

Is it possible for normal users to make inline replies? or just bots?

msciotti · 2020-10-02T00:30:36Z

@GunnerBasil yes of course! Replies are a feature intentionally for users. We're documenting them for bots ahead of time due to the type changes that need to be handled.

What does a reply look like on v6? Are the fields just missing or does it use the old Replying to x from y / Replying to y format?

Is it necessary to say that referenced_message is not guaranteed on MESSAGE_UPDATE and MESSAGE_DELETE? They both already make no guarantees except for id and channel_id.

ThatTonybo · 2020-10-02T01:44:19Z

Is there any sort of demo on how these'll look and function in the apps and clients?

What does a reply look like on v6? Are the fields just missing or does it use the old Replying to x from y / Replying to y format?

The v6 equivalent of inline-reply is afaik the quote. From what I gathered is the inline-reply just a new and fancy version of the "Quote message" feature Discord offers.
So the v6 equivalent would be

> User Message
@UserMention Response Message

Also, if you had read the very first comment would you know that this hasn't deployed yet and will take at least 3 additional weeks until it is ready.

@ThatTonybo There's partially implemented client-side support in today's PTB (not rolled out yet so you have to be a Discord employee or client modder to enable):

Is it necessary to say that referenced_message is not guaranteed on MESSAGE_UPDATE and MESSAGE_DELETE? They both already make no guarantees except for id and channel_id.

Clearly defining what is provided on those events would be nice, purely because it is pointless if you don't have any behavioural guarantee of when they will or will not appear, especially if that differs to what you would expect. It probably matters more to library devs than to people just using the API for a specific application, but the ambiguity here is not a nice thing to have to deal with unnecessarily.

For consistency, I agree, but ideally this shouldn't be left unclearly defined for this at all for any of these fields; it leaves confusion about what cases you actually expect this information.

Nicofisi · 2020-11-16T15:46:13Z

Will webhooks support replies? I maintain matterbridge, which is a bot that bridges chats between Discord and other chat platforms. We use webhooks so that we can change the message username and avatar to look like the person that sent the message.

Making it possible to send a webhook in reply to a message will allow us to bridge Slack threads nicely. (Otherwise we'll have to drop down to regular bot user messages when doing replies.)

I would love it for that exact reason, too! I was in need to write such integration myself a few times (in-game chat <-> Discord, for a few games), and the ability for me to add replies to Discord messages from in-game would be a great feature!

we want to keep the future open for some form of message embedding / forwarding.

@meishuu Personally I'm VERY looking forward to the ability to reply to/quote/whatever you call it, messages in a different channel. An example use case would be programming/art making/music/etc. related servers where people share their work in one channel (#projects), asking for opinions, and the server rules allow others to comment on them only in a separate channel meant for feedback. (#projects-feedback). Same thing with #contests listing some server contests and #contest-submissions. Same thing with #server-organization-questions with open questions from staff, and #server-organization-feedback with answers from the members. Poor naming here, but you get the idea :)

It would also be great to be able to privately reply to someone's question in their DMs! When the answer involves something private, or you've read the message after a really long time, and find it relevant only for you and the person you're replying to.

Cheers!

is this supposed to be marked as required again here?

Yeah I mistakenly made it optional in one of the passes.

JK I was wrong. It's optional when sending a reply, but will always be included when you receive this structure in an event/endpoiint.

Merging this PR since replies are now out! Thank you all for the feedback and help getting it ready, and enjoy the feature :)

@jhgg: is there any possibility of webhook replies being added in the future? not having this feature impacts usability with bots that replace users' messages with webhooks (such as pluralkit or tupperbox). if there's a permission needed for it, it could be given to @everyone - whether it be read message history or whatever else is required
