# How to use custom emojis

In order to use a custom emoji as part of a response node (such as in an embed description or message content) you need to use the format: **<:name:id>**. It is actually very easy to find this information for an emoji. \ <br>

### Finding the <:name:id> format

To find this string for a certain emoji first go to the Discord server it is in and do the following:

Type **\\:EmojiName:** and click enter to send the message. In my case the emoji I'm finding is :WhiteDBSIcon1:. So I would type **\\:WhiteDBSIcon1:** and press enter.&#x20;

After you do this, Discord will automatically convert your message to the **<:name:id>** format we need:&#x20;

Then you can simply paste this string anywhere in a DBS response, like a Send Message node's content, or a Send Embed's description field:

![](/files/-MhEl9aTrufGlcYv4jXA)

This will then appear as the actual emoji when the response is sent in server.
