Snippet: Assign roles by reaction in Discord

Assign roles by reaction in Discord

Scott — threesided

Give someone a specified role based on their emoji reactions to a particular message. For custom emojis, use the name of the emoji instead.

// authenticates you with the API standard library
const lib = require('lib')({token: process.env.STDLIB_SECRET_TOKEN});

let validMessage = 'THE_MESSAGE_ID_TO_WATCH'; //Change this to match the message ID you want to track

let validRoles = {
  '🤖': 'ROLE_ID_1', // These need to be the role IDs from your server
  '🧙‍♂️': 'ROLE_ID_2',
  'customEmojiName': 'ROLE_ID_3'
};

let validRole = validRoles[context.params.event.emoji.name];

if (context.params.event.message_id === validMessage && validRole) {
  await lib.discord.guilds['@0.1.0'].members.roles.update({
    role_id: `${validRole}`,
    user_id: `${context.params.event.user_id}`,
    guild_id: `${context.params.event.guild_id}`
  });
}
