Setting a command in an embed discord.js

Question

I have looked and I have tried different things, but I cant seem to find an answer that either makes sense or works. I am new to all this in general, but so far stackoverflow has been amazing!

My question is I understand how to create a hyperlink in an embed, but is there way to the embed to work as button that sends a message rather than open up to the web page.

const Google = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor('#0099ff')
    .setTitle('Google')
        .setURL('https://google.com')

At the moment the following embed will link to google.com but is there a way to set it so it sends a "!help" message into the server (which is a separate command within the bot), like something like message.channel.send("!help") I have looked at adding fields and such, but it seems this is the only way to make an embed function as a button/hyperlink.

That wouldn't work, however, you could set up a system using reaction collectors to listen to certain emojis being reacted to the message and do something through that — Syntle

There is no current way to do this as links are just links. You can achieve something similar by using awaitReactions() to check if the member has reacted to the embed and sending the message that way:

// Send embed here
message.react('👍').then(() => message.react('👎'));

const filter = (reaction, user) => {
    return ['👍', '👎'].includes(reaction.emoji.name) && user.id === message.author.id;
};

message.awaitReactions(filter, { max: 1, time: 60000, errors: ['time'] })
    .then(collected => {
        const reaction = collected.first();

        if (reaction.emoji.name === '👍') {
            // Send the message here
        }

        else {
            // Optional: Send a message if they don't react with a thumbs up
        }
    })
    .catch(collected => {
        // Also optional: Check if the reacted before timeout
    });
