How do I send replies from slash commands privately to the user using interactions?

The best way would be to send a hidden message by adding ephemeral=True to ctx.send

#

I tried adding it and it doesn't seem to work

#

MystHeh

#

I've tried looking at the message history in this server but can't find a fix

What was your code?

shell glade Dec 20, 2023, 9:41 PM

#

The entire slash command?

#

await ctx.send("This is a test ephemeral", ephemeral = True )```

#

This is what I'm doing

#

still sends it as a public message though

That's very weird

Do you have autodefer enabled?

#

Are you doing a defer further up? That's the problem I had before. I added the ephemeral true to my defer and it worked like a charm.
