Create Message API send messages without components or embeds

[harshpandey002]

Description

I have a bot installed in multiple guilds. I am creating a nextjs dashboard for server admins who can send messages with components and embeds to any channel in their guild through my bot.

When I try to send message with components and embeds, the message only shows up with the content and not components or embeds.

The response from /channels/{channel.id}/messages contains empty components and embeds.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a bot
2. Install it in your discord server
3. Inside of a Nextjs app, use the same bot credentials to send message to discord
4. Use /channels/{channel.id}/messages rest api to send message with components and embeds.

API call

 const res = await axios.post(
      `https://discord.com/api/v10/channels/{channel.id}/messages`,
      {
        content: 'Hello there!',
        tts: false,
        components: [
          {
            type: 1,
            components: [
              {
                type: 2,
                style: 1,
                label: 'Create your Submission',
                custom_id: `button_click`,
                disabled: false,
              },
            ],
          },
        ],
      },
      {
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
          Accept: 'application/json',
          Authorization: `Bot ${process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN}`,
        },
      }
    );

Expected Behavior

Message should show up like this with a button

Current Behavior

But it shows up with just the content and no buttons

Screenshots/Videos

No response

Client and System Information

Bot is running up with discordjs and on the web I'm using Discord rest apis with same bot token and client id to send the message as the bot.

Have you tried sending json instead of urlencoded form data?

8+ hours of debugging and this was the issue, this is the reason I don't get hired 😭
Thank you @MinnDevelopment so much!
