Embeds are those fancy Discord messages with a box and text inside it - something that can't be sent via regular messaging. To customize the embed, use the `embed` command.

Discord automatically creates an embed for links, such as the one below:

and bots can create their own:

An embed can normally contain [many items](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/84319995256905728/252292324967710721/embed.png). The embed properties that can be customized for a feed are listed below.
