Checklist

  • Write one main message
  • Use concise fields
  • Avoid color-only meaning
  • Include a plain-text summary
  • Preview on mobile

Steps

  1. Write the announcement in plain text first.
  2. Turn only the scannable parts into fields.
  3. Use color as emphasis, not the only signal.
  4. Preview the embed on desktop and mobile.
  5. Keep a non-embed fallback for critical information.

Embeds can make announcements easier to scan, but over-designed embeds become decorative noise.

This guide pairs with the Discord Wire News embed preview builder.
