Here is where it isn't working

bot.command(pass_context = True)
async def getEmbed(ctx):
msg = str(ctx.message.content).replace(':getEmbed ', '')
role = msg
guild = ctx.guild
role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles,name=role)
print(role.members)
msg = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(ctx.message.id)
await msg.delete()

i think it's because you keep overriding the role variable

you should use different variable names

[livid warren]

let me try that.

thank you.

[hoary thicket]

also thispy msg = message = str(ctx.message.content).replace(':pending ', '') role = msg...isn't needed at all?

you should set your command arguments to (ctx, *, role) if you want to properly support spaces

[livid warren]

yes i'll do that but this is like an instant deadline in like 15 minutes

Thank you @hoary thicket

it helped a lot.
