Is it possible to send an interaction without having a content?

[remeoj]

So I'm trying to send an embed as a result of an interaction. The issue is that I can't send a post callback to the interaction unless theres a message. Is there a way I can attach the embed as part of the message body or return an interaction resolve so that on discord I don't get the error "Interaction failed"? Any help is appreciated thanks!

Sounds like you might be sending the embed incorrectly, as it should be an acceptable response.

interaction.reply({ embeds: [yourEmbed] })

you should use discord.js v13 and the d.js interaction event (client.on('interactionCreate', func))
docs: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/master/class/Client?scrollTo=e-interactionCreate
guide: https://v13-prep.discordjs.guide/interactions/replying-to-slash-commands.html
you can also ask in #djs-slash-commands in https://discord.gg/djs

Above should be the marked answer, but GitHub only allows toplevel responses to be marked so here we go.
You should be using the library native approach to handling interactions

Im trying to follow the guide https://v13-prep.discordjs.guide/interactions/registering-slash-commands.html but I'm confused why there are question marks in the code after application. I'm not sure if I should remove the question marks or if theres something I'm missing on instantiation

The question marks are valid in javascript as of node 14 and called optional chaining. We will be using language features up to the current minimum required node version, which for v13 of discord.js is currently 14.0.0 or newer.
