Snippet: Discord Time-Sensitive Reply Slash Command

Discord Time-Sensitive Reply Slash Command

Jacob Lee — jacoblee

Slash command handler that sends a message that requires a reply within 8 seconds. If nobody replies to the message, deletes the original message. You can adjust the amount of time someone has to reply, but you may need to increase your function timeout under Advanced Settings.

let sentMessage = await lib.discord.channels['@0.1.2'].messages.create({
  channel_id: `${context.params.event.channel_id}`,
  content: `Reply within 8 seconds or this will be deleted!`
});

await sleep(8000);

let channelMessages = await lib.discord.channels['@0.1.2'].messages.list({
  channel_id: `${context.params.event.channel_id}`,
  after: `${sentMessage.id}`,

let reply = channelMessages.find((channelMessage) => {
  return channelMessage.referenced_message.id === sentMessage.id;
});
