Most embed builders stop at generating a message. This one delivers it — on a schedule, as many times as you want. MsgPlanner’s embed builder lives inside the scheduler: build up to 10 embeds per message with the full structure Discord supports, preview them exactly as they will render, and attach them to a one-time, recurring or calendar schedule.
Embeds are built in the web dashboard; the resulting schedules can be managed from inside Discord too.
The full embed structure, nothing missing
Every part of a Discord embed is there: author (name and icon), title, description, up to 25 fields (inline or stacked), image, thumbnail, footer (text and icon), color and timestamp. Discord’s real limits, which the builder enforces live:
| Embed part | Discord’s limit |
|---|---|
| Embeds per message | 10 |
| Title | 256 characters |
| Description | 4,096 characters |
| Fields | 25 per embed |
| Field name | 256 characters |
| Field value | 1,024 characters |
| Footer text | 2,048 characters |
| Author name | 256 characters |
| All embeds combined | 6,000 characters per message |
These caps come straight from Discord’s developer documentation.
A detail you’ll appreciate the day it matters: MsgPlanner clamps each part a hair under Discord’s maximums — so an embed that saves is an embed that delivers, never one rejected at send time.
What renders where
Discord applies different rules to each part of an embed, and the builder respects them instead of letting you write things that won’t render: descriptions support the full markdown set, headings included; field values support everything except headings; titles take inline formatting but not masked links; author and footer are plain text. The editing itself — markdown, mentions, server emojis — is the same editor used for messages: full details on the Discord message editor page.
Images, four ways
Each embed carries up to four images: the main image, the thumbnail, the author icon and the footer icon. Upload files directly (up to 8 MB each) or point to an external image URL — the builder validates the URL format and even probes that the image actually loads, warning you before you save a broken link into next month’s announcement.
A preview you can trust
The embed preview renders side by side with the builder, pixel-close to Discord: colors, field layout (inline fields wrap in threes, like the real thing), images, footer. Characters beyond your plan’s budget are highlighted, and the preview shows the embed as it will actually be delivered — trimmed to the real limits, not an idealized version.
Scheduled, repeated, templated
This is the part standalone embed tools don’t do: the embed you build is scheduled — delivered at an exact moment, every week, or on a calendar rule — and it can be saved as a reusable template (Elite) or travel between servers with the backup export. Build once, deliver forever.
Free and Elite
The free plan includes 1 embed per message, within its 200-character budget — enough to try the builder for real. Elite raises that to the full 10 embeds and the 4,000-character budget. Numbers and prices on the pricing page.
FAQ
How many embeds can a Discord message have?
10 — and MsgPlanner’s builder supports all 10, with a combined limit of 6,000 characters per message set by Discord.
How many fields can a Discord embed have?
25 per embed. Field names take up to 256 characters, field values up to 1,024; fields can be inline (up to three side by side) or stacked.
Can I schedule an embed message on Discord?
Yes — that’s the point of MsgPlanner’s builder: build the embed visually and attach it to a one-time, recurring or calendar schedule.
Can embeds include images?
Yes, four per embed: main image, thumbnail, author icon and footer icon — uploaded (up to 8 MB) or from an external image URL, validated before saving.
Does markdown work inside embeds?
Yes: full markdown in descriptions (headings included), everything except headings in field values, inline formatting in titles. Author and footer are plain text. See the Discord message editor page for the complete matrix.
Are embeds available on the free plan?
Yes — 1 embed per message within the free 200-character budget. Elite raises the limits to 10 embeds and 4,000 characters.
Can I build embeds from the Discord app?
No — embeds are built and edited in the web dashboard. From the app you can still manage schedules that carry embeds (suspend, resume, delete); the in-app panel itself marks them as dashboard-managed.
