I am trying to make a command to send an embed but I can't figure out how to customize an embed using arguments

const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js")

module.exports = {
    category: 'Role Select Msg',
    description: 'Sends a embeded message for roles or for announcemnts',

    permissions: ['ADMINISTRATOR'],

    slash: 'both',
    guildOnly: true,

    minArgs: 2,
    expectedArgs: '<channel> <text>',
    expectedArgsTypes: ['CHANNEL', 'STRING'],

    callback: ({ message, interaction, args }) => {
        const channel = message ? message.mentions.channels.first() : interaction.options.getChannel('channel')
        const description = interaction.options.getString('text')
        if (!channel || channel.type !== 'GUILD_TEXT'){
            return 'Please tag a text channel.'
        }

        const embed = new MessageEmbed()
            .setDescription(description)

        channel.send(embed)

        if(interaction){
            interaction.reply({
                content: 'Sent message!',
                ephemeral: true
            })
        }
    }
}

I want to customize something like a title or description based on what someone that used the command input for .

for a normal message command you can use args or split and collector for example:

// Defining the channel you want to send the embed to
const channel = await message.mentions.channels.first() || message.guild.channels.cache.get(args[0]) || message.channel;

// Defining the first embed
const embed = new MessageEmbed()
    .setDescription(`Please type your title and description separated by a \` \`, __example:__ Title Description`)
const msg = await message.channel.send({embeds: [embed]})

// Using message collector to collect the embed's title and description
const filter = m => m.author.id === message.author.id //Filter the message of only the user who run the command
                
message.channel.awaitMessages({
     filter,
     max: 1,
     time: 120000,
     errors: ["time"]
   }).then(async collected => {
           const msgContent = collected.first().content
           const embedFields = msgContent.split(' '); // You can use any symbol to split with not only  
           const customEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
               .setTitle(`${embedFields[0]}`)
               .setDescription(`${embedFields[1]}`)
               .setFooter({text: `${embedFields[2]}`})
           channel.send({embeds: [customEmbed]}) // send the embed to the channel
           message.reply({content: `Your embed was sent to ${channel}`})
}) // reply to the main command

If it was an interaction command, You can use Options:

// Defining the options
const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel')
const title = interaction.options.getString('title') // Title of the embed
const descr = interaction.options.getString('description') // Description for the embed
// You can add also add a custom footer:
const footer = interaction.options.getString('footer')

//Now it's simpler than using a normal message command
const customEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
    .setTitle(`${title}`)
    .setDescription(`${descr}`)
    .setFooter({text: `${footer}`})
channel.send({embeds: [customEmbed]})
interaction.reply({content: `Your embed was sent to ${channel}`, ephemeral: true}) // reply to your interaction
// Of course you need to add the options to the interaction, and check it required option or not

After doing some trial and error, I've found one of some solutions for your problem.

if(message.author.id == "") {
        const embed = new MessageEmbed()
        .setDescription("To create a customized embed, you need to do an `args[0]` and `args[1]`")
        .setColor('RANDOM')
        .setTimestamp()

        message.channel.send({embeds: [embed]})

        const msg_filter = (m) => m.author.id === message.author.id;
        const collector = await message.channel.createMessageCollector({filter: msg_filter, max: 2, timer: 15000})

        collector.on('end', collected => {
            let i = 0;
            collected.forEach((value) => {
                i  ;
                if (i === 1) embed.setTitle(value.content);
                else if (i === 2) embed.setDescription(value.content);
            })
            console.log(i)
            message.channel.send({embeds: [embed]});
        })
    } else {
        return message.reply("```Only the Developer Can use these command.```")
    }

To achieve these kind of command, You need to use a collector function See more here

Using max: 2 makes it to wait for two args which is the arsg[0] and args[1], Then use any so you can make it to equal for .setTitle and .setDescription
