I'm testing sending embed messages for a Discord Bot using Discord.js which is basically a node.js module used to interact with Discord's API. This is the code i'm using for the bot to send the embed message:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
    .setTitle("This is your title, it can hold 256 characters")
    .setAuthor("Author Name", ".png")
    .setColor(0x00AE86)
    .setDescription("This is the main body of text, it can hold 2048 characters.")
    .setFooter("This is the footer text, it can hold 2048 characters", ".png")
    .setImage(".png")
    .setThumbnail(".png")
    .setTimestamp()
    .setURL("")
    .addField("This is a field title, it can hold 256 characters",
        "This is a field value, it can hold 1024 characters.")
    .addField("Inline Field", "They can also be inline.", true)
    .addBlankField(true)
    .addField("Inline Field 3", "You can have a maximum of 25 fields.", true);

  message.channel.send({embed});

When I run the code I get this error in the Visual Studio Code IDE:

TypeError: (intermediate value).setTitle(...).setAuthor(...).setColor(...).setDescription(...).setFooter(...).setImage(...).setThumbnail(...).setTimestamp(...).setURL(...).addField(...).addField(...).addBlankField is not a function

There is not addBlankField() function in MessageEmbed class when you look at documentation, check your discord.js version.

As of v12.0.0 they changed RichEmbed to MessageEmbed.

Try this :

    const Discord = require('discord.js');
    const client = new Discord.Client();
    client.login('Your bot\'s token here');
    client.on('ready', () => console.log('I\'m ready !');
    client.on('message', message => {
        const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
            .setTitle("This is your title, it can hold 256 characters")
            .setAuthor("Author Name", "https://i.imgur./lm8s41J.png")
            .setColor('WHITE')
            .setDescription("This is the main body of text, it can hold 2048 characters.")
            .setFooter("This is the footer text, it can hold 2048 characters", "http://i.imgur./w1vhFSR.png")
            .setImage("http://i.imgur./yVpymuV.png")
            .setThumbnail("http://i.imgur./p2qNFag.png")
            .setTimestamp()
            .setURL("https://discord.js/#/docs/main/indev/class/RichEmbed")
            .addField("This is a field title, it can hold 256 characters",
        "This is a field value, it can hold 1024 characters.")
            .addField("Inline Field", "They can also be inline.", true)
            .addField("Inline Field 3", "You can have a maximum of 25 fields.", true);

  message.channel.send(embed);

If that doesn't work, I would suggest checking the official documentation clicking here

If you want to add a blank field in another way, because .addBlankField() isn't supported in discord.js v12. You can write this:

.addField("** **", "** **")

This will add a field with an almost empty title and description (They both contain one space after you sent the embed)

.addField('\u200B', '\u200B');
