What is a message mention?
A message mention setting decides which role or "group" to mention (@) when Birthday Bot sends an event message. Acceptable values include everyone, here, @role/role-name, and none.
This setting can be changed for all messages of each message type, not by each singular message.
What is the message time?
The message time is the hour when the bot will send a custom message (in the user's time zone or the server's default time zone, if set up). This setting only affects the message and roles given with certain events that will always happen at midnight (12 am) in the user's time zone or the server's default time zone, if set up. However, Birthday Bot allows you to customize the messages' time so you aren't pinging @everyone or @here at midnight.
This setting can be changed for all messages of each message type, not by each singular message.
What is a message embed color?
A message embed color is the color on the left side of a message embed. This setting won't apply if your use embed setting is set to false.
This setting can be changed for each message individually.
What is a message embed setting?

This setting can be changed for each message individually.
How do I add an image/GIF to a custom message?
Simply add the link to your message and then ensure the embed setting for that message is false. The embed setting is set when you first add the message. After a message is set, it can't be edited and can only be removed.
This setting can be changed for each message individually.
