Embed: DiscordAPIError: Cannot send an empty message

It’s me again..

Alright so:

I’m trying to make a command that will warn users they joined a wrong server, But when I run the command, I get the Cannot send an empty msg error..

Really, any help would be appreciated!

const Discord = require("discord.js")

module.exports.run = async (client, message, args, err) => { 
const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed().setTitle('Hey!').setDescription('We think you have our server mistaken. etc etc')
     if (!args[0]) return message.reply('Who?', { allowedMentions: { repliedUser: false } });
     const member = message.mentions.members.first() || await message.guild.members.fetch(args[0]).catch(e => {
      check = true;
      return message.reply('Can't find specefied member! Provide a valid ID, or mention ig lol.', { allowedMentions: { repliedUser: false } });
    });
    message.channel.send(embed).catch(err)
    message.channel.send(`${member}`)
    }

Error:

Answer

From discord.js v13 onwards, the API supports up to 10 embeds per message.

So, instead of:

message.channel.send({ embed: embed })

Pass in an array of embeds instead:

message.channel.send({ embeds: [embed1, embed2, embed3... embed10] })

You can, of course, just insert a single embed as well:

message.channel.send({ embeds:  })

Changelog: https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v13.html#sending-messages-embeds-files-etc

You might find some extra stuff in there as well.
