If I have a reaction channel for my discord server where you get roles by reacting to a messages so if I have a daily question channel and I want to have a specific @for the daily question channel how do I do that

1 answer

To create a reaction role system in your Discord server that assigns a specific role when users react to messages in a daily question channel, you can follow these steps. You'll need to use a bot that supports reaction roles, such as MEE6, Dyno, or Reaction Roles by Zira. Below, I’ll outline the process using the Zira bot as an example, but the general steps can be adapted to most bots with similar functionality.

Step-by-Step Guide Using Zira:

  1. Invite the Bot to Your Server:

    • Go to the Zira bot's website (or the website of the bot you choose to use).
    • Invite the bot to your server and grant it the necessary permissions (especially the ability to manage roles and read messages).
  2. Set Up Roles in Discord:

    • Make sure you have created the roles you want to assign when someone reacts (e.g., "Daily Question Participant").
    • Make sure the bot's role is higher than the roles it will be assigning in the server's role hierarchy.
  3. Create a Reaction Role Message:

    • Go to the channel where you want to post the daily question (or a separate channel for the reaction role).
    • Post a message that users will react to, stating what the daily question is, along with instructions on how to react for the role.
  4. Configure Reaction Roles with Zira:

    • Use the commands provided by Zira. The typical command format looks something like this:
      !add @role messageID emoji
      
    • Example:
      !add @DailyQuestionParticipant 123456789012345678 🎉
      
    • Replace @DailyQuestionParticipant with the role you want to assign, 123456789012345678 with the ID of the message containing the daily question, and 🎉 with the emoji you want users to react with.
  5. Get the Message ID:

    • To grab the message ID, you need to enable developer mode in your Discord settings:
      • Go to User Settings > Appearance > Enable Developer Mode.
      • Right-click the message you want to use for reactions and select “Copy ID”.
  6. Test the Setup:

    • After setting up the reaction role, test it by having someone react to the message to ensure they receive the role correctly.
  7. Promote Engagement:

    • Encourage your server members to participate in the daily questions by highlighting the benefits of joining the specific role or any special privileges it may confer.

Note:

If you choose a different bot (like MEE6 or Dyno), the commands might differ, so refer to the respective documentation for that bot.

If you don't want to use a bot, you can manually assign roles based on reactions, but this requires more manual work and is less automated.

Conclusion:

Setting up a reaction role for a daily question channel is a great way to engage your community. Choose a bot that fits your needs, follow the setup procedures, and enjoy building a more interactive Discord server!
