🔒 HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message.

[kindred scroll]

I'm new to python, and im encountering an error HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message. when i remove the embed, it sends without any issue. However, when I add an embed, i encounter errors. Also, when I remove the Channel ID, I'm able to use the embed. Can anyone help me with this issue?. Thanks!.

    name="vouch",
    description="Vouch for a user"
)
async def vouch(ctx: commands.Context, user: discord.Member, comment: str):
    vouch_channel_id = 1210410118278152263
    
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="Vouch Confirmation",
        color=discord.Color.green()
    )
    embed.add_field(name="Voucher", value=ctx.author.mention, inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Vouched User", value=user.mention, inline=False)
    if comment:
        embed.add_field(name="Comment", value=comment, inline=False)

    vouch_channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(vouch_channel_id)
    if vouch_channel:
        if embed.to_dict().get("fields"):
            await vouch_channel.send(embed=embed)
            await ctx.respond("Vouch recorded successfully!")
        else:
            await ctx.respond("Error: Embed content is empty.")

Hey @kindred scroll!

It looks like you pasted Python code without syntax highlighting.

Please use syntax highlighting to improve the legibility of your code and make it easier for us to help you.

To do this, use the following method:
```py
print('Hello, world!')
```

This will result in the following:

print('Hello, world!')```
You can **edit your original message** to correct your code block.

discord seems to tolerate empty field names/values... have you tried printing out embed.to_dict() to see what its sending to discord?

oh, actually 50035 would show up if the embed was malformed...

can you send the full traceback?

You're converting an embed object to a dict and then trying to send it as an embed object
