Hey folks! This is actually my 2022 hackweek project which I got to finish to completion. :) During a message send request, if you include the new `SUPPRESS_NOTIFICATIONS` flag it will not broadcast any push/desktop notifications but will still increment the relevant mention counters. The intention is that you can get someone's attention but not feel like you could be distracting them. Like when you DM someone at 5am. I'm sure some bots can leverage this as well to avoid noise or something. Also this should work for the webhook send request as well. [Add a picture of the UI here] If you're looking to leverage this as a non-bot, you can write `@silent` as the _very first_ thing in a message. Make sure your client is up-to-date btw. Autocomplete a-la `@everyone` is not planned. Eventually we may put this in an "actual UI", for now this is where it lives. :) Also sorry to all the users on Discord named silent who may have some textual conflict now. Forgive me!

If it's possible to pass that flag on message create then the params documentation isn't updated. |

In addition to adding MessageFlag.SuppressNotifications the message create and edit builders were extended to allow setting MessageFlags with convenience properties for setting MessageFlag.SuppressEmbeds and MessageFlag.SuppressNotifications directly. see discord/discord-api-docs#5910 and discord/discord-api-docs@f7cc5dd Co-authored-by: Lukellmann <lukellmann@gmail.com>

During a message send request, if you include the new
SUPPRESS_NOTIFICATIONSflag it will not broadcast any push/desktop notifications but will still increment the relevant mention counters.The intention is that you can get someone's attention but not feel like you could be distracting them. Like when you DM someone at 5am. I'm sure some bots can leverage this as well to avoid noise or something.
Also this should work for the webhook send request as well. And if you're looking to leverage this as a real user (gasp aren't you all just bots), you can write
@silentas the very first thing in a message.Screen.Recording.2023-02-08.at.3.12.56.PM.mov

FAQ (for the product not really for this documentation change lol)
Why is the UX
@silentinstead of a slash command?Slash command UI is built for interactions with bots. You "basically" cannot mention anyone, or have long-form text, both of which are useful in this interaction scheme. I'm not here to promise anything just pointing it out for this feature.
When is this rolling out?
Should be available on your next Desktop refresh. Mobile 164 and up should get it I believe?
What happens if there's a user named "Silent" in the channel?
If you do not select the user in the autocomplete it will come out as a silent message. If you do select the user in the autocomplete it will mention the user instead.
Is there autocomplete?
No. And it is not planned. Currently, we're considering this like a hidden feature. I think eventually the long-term plan is to put a "proper UI" in place for this instead of it being a text-based flag, which is honestly kinda jank.
