How do I use a local image file for an embed image?

Discord special-cases uploading an image attachment and using it within an embed so that it will not display separately, but instead in the embed’s thumbnail, image, footer or author icon.

To do so, upload the image normally with abc.Messageable.send(), and set the embed’s image URL to attachment://image.png, where image.png is the filename of the image you will send.

Quick example:

file = discord.File("path/to/my/image.png", filename="image.png")
embed = discord.Embed()
embed.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

Note: Due to a Discord limitation, filenames may not include underscores.

Is there an event for audit log entries being created?

You also need to send the file

msg = await ctx.send(embed=e, file=file)
