Reaction roles

Reaction roles assign or remove roles when members react to a Discord message.

Create a reaction role

1. Open Administration > Reaction Role.
2. Choose whether to use a managed embed, a new message, or an existing Discord message.
3. Select the channel and message ID when using an existing message.
4. Add one or more emoji entries.
5. Choose the roles each emoji should assign.
6. Configure whether members can remove the role by unreacting.
7. Set pick limits, thresholds, end time, and DM behavior if needed.
8. Save and test from Discord with a normal member account.

Existing messages

For existing Discord messages, enable Developer Mode in Discord and copy the message ID and channel ID. April needs access to the channel and permission to manage reactions.

Limits and permissions

Reaction-role entries can contain multiple emoji mappings, but each message should stay small enough for members to understand. Keep April’s role above every assignable role and avoid using reaction roles for staff permissions.
