How do I set the embed color?

How can I set the color of the embed? I'd like to set Red on failed and Gold on succeeded.

Here's what I tried. Gold is a preset color for the Discord Api

    messageType: 'embeds'
    embeds: |
      [{
          "title":"App Api",
          "description":"Build Succeeded",
          "author": {
              "name":"Azure DevOps"
          },
          "color": "Gold"
      }]

I don't normally troubleshoot this stuff here because Discord has their own resources for this and there is a Discord channel for Discord devs.
That said, I'll give a hint for one thing, this isn't a YAML structure.

I'm familiar with their documentation, but that doesn't inform me as to whether your library supports setting the color.

That said, I'll give a hint for one thing, this isn't a YAML structure.

I'm not sure what you mean by "this isn't a YAML structure."

This works fine:

- task: ado-discord-webhook@1
  inputs:
    channelId: '{redacted}'
    webhookKey: '{redacted}'
    name: '{redacted}'
    avatar: '{redacted}'
    messageType: 'embeds'
    embeds: |
      [{
          "title":"App Api",
          "description":"Build Succeeded",
          "author": {
              "name":"Azure DevOps"
          }
      }]

Adding the color property doesn't work. But, looking at their documentation again, the value appears to be an integer. So, I should look up what the integer value is for the color.

Regardless, I still don't understand what you mean by "this isn't a YAML structure".

This task accepts a JSON object defined by the Discord docs. Whatever Discord sets for that structure, this will "support" because it simply passes the string object you wrote along to Discord.

Got it. I thought you were saying the YAML I shared was invalid.

Here is a gist with valid Discord color ids for those in the future:

Example:
"color": 3447003
