iFrame Interactions

[TheOriginalAyaka]

Hello,

I’ve noticed that certain bots, such as MidJourney, can trigger an iframe modal through an interaction within the Discord app, which provides a highly interactive experience.

This feature would be incredibly beneficial for bots like my own, Wonderhoy, which allows users to create custom stickers. Currently, the lack of a live preview makes it difficult for users to align elements accurately, requiring manual input of numbers, which limits usability and functionality.

Since this iframe interaction is not yet open for general use and no documentation appears to be available, I wanted to ask:

• Is this feature planned to be made accessible to bot developers through the Discord API?
• If so, is there a timeline or roadmap for its availability?

This feature could significantly enhance the interactivity and capabilities of many bots on the platform. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Afaik, MidJourney are the only ones with access to iFrame Models.

Personally, I'd rather have more supported components added to Models (such as Selects, Buttons/Toggles, File Upload, Plain-text labels, Image labels, etc) than abusable iFrames that could open a security risk*

* Granted, Custom Activities themselves are basically iFrames so who knows, maybe the major security concerns are already dealt with?

We've been asking for more components since what now...? 2 years?

I agree with your point, but it’s worth noting that some of these components, like buttons, selects, and file uploads, already exist outside of modals. That said, for features involving visual editing, such as live previews or precise adjustments, a modal is often essential to provide the dedicated space and user experience needed for accurate customization. A well-implemented iframe modal could address this effectively, especially since the Discord Embedded App SDK already manages most security concerns, minimizing any potential risks associated with implementing iframe modals.

I'm aware these components already exist outside of modals, but it would be nice to provide a cleaner UX by having it all in a modal instead of doing some in an Ephemeral Message with a Modal as follow-up.
