I'm trying to send multiple embeds (more specifically, just 2) at once when a user enters a certain mand. The reason being is that the information I want to print would look horrendously long in just 1 embed. I've heard this can only be done using webhooks as the discord API does not usually allow this. So the following code won't work:

const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setAuthor("blah")
.addField("blah")
message.channel.send({embed}) // this will send fine

const embed2 = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setAuthor("blah")
.addField("blah")
message.channel.send({embed2});   // This wont work

I'm also using rich embeds as you can see, but I don't think that has any effect on what I'm trying to do. I have tried looking up how to properly use a webhook to do this, but I've barely even managed to just declare my hook. I'd appreciate it if I could get help on just how I'd go about doing what I'm trying to acplish (and if there actually IS a way to do this without using a webhook, by all means I'd love to hear it!)

You can send multiple embeds to the same channel, I'm not sure who told you it's not possible. Here's the code I'm using, which successfully sends multiple embeds to a channel:

function send2Embeds(message) {
    let channel = message.channel;

    // next create rich embeds
    let embed1 = new Discord.RichEmbed({
        title: 'embed1',
        description: 'description1',
        author: {
            name: 'author1'
        }
    });

    let embed2 = new Discord.RichEmbed({
        title: 'embed2',
        description: 'description2',
        author: {
            name: 'author2'
        }
    });

    // send embed to channel
    channel.send(embed1)
    .then(msg => {
        // after the first is sent, send the 2nd (makes sure it's in the correct order)
        channel.send(embed2);
    });
}

As you can see, I wait for the first embed to be sent successfully & for the promise to return before sending the second embed. Are you running into errors while trying things like this?

I think it would be better if you used:

message.channel.send(embed1, embed2)
