How should I store this and how do I do it? discord.py

Question

I am struggling on something I am working on with my custom discord bot for someone. I have made a series of events that go like the picture here: Link to Example

I want to be able to store this in a JSON file or database without sending it straight away so later I can do things like:

• *event list - lists all text events/announcements Like this
• ;event preview 1 - Example here With the '1' I want it to link to an event name in the json file so I can do this command so whatever event name is linked to whatever number. this is to see the preview of the announcement you made. it sends a period, edits that period to whatever is the event/announcement selected. this is so that if the announcement has an everyone or here ping, it wont ping when you're previewing the announcement
• ;event post 1 (or whatever number relates to the right event I want to post) Example here - this command posts that particular event

I can not figure out how to store it in the Json file or database and be able to do those commands above. I have had little help from other devs but I still cant figure it out and need help on how to do it. Below is my code so far if someone can please help me:

    @bot.command()
    async def event(ctx):
        def check(msg):
            return msg.channel.id == ctx.channel.id and msg.author.id == ctx.author.id
        await ctx.send("Please enter the event name:")
        eventname = await bot.wait_for("message", check=check)
        await ctx.send("Please send what you want to say in the announcement in a code block:")
        codeblock = await bot.wait_for("message", check=check)
        await ctx.send("What image should be posted? (Type 'no' for none)")
        image = await bot.wait_for("message", check=check)
        mainimage = None
        if image.content.lower() != "no":
            mainimage = image.attachments[0]
        await ctx.send('What channel should the announcement be made in? (Please tag the channel)')
        eventch = await bot.wait_for("message", check=check)
        realchannel = await commands.TextChannelConverter().convert(ctx, eventch.content)
        message = codeblock.content.replace("```", "").replace("`", "")
        if mainimage:
            return await realchannel.send(message, file=await mainimage.to_file())
        await realchannel.send(message)

(Sorry if not indented properly, nor sure how to on here)

Help is appreciated.

It kinda take too long to code so Im here to suggest a few steps to make it easy coding!

• First You Need A Database to store these kind of values. i recommend MongoDB
• Once You Created A Database in MongoDB, You can easily handle data to be stored [tutorial:youtube] or [tutorial:document]
• with the help of wait_for function in discord.py and [refer this] you can get the data and store it in dict.
  example

'

 dict = {}
 dict['name'] = ctx.message.content
 #same for all

• after storing all kind of info in the dict. you can upload the dict to the database

• Now the data are stored in Database! if you learned PyMongo you can easily do the rest of your queries!
