Overview

This node interacts with the Discord API to add a reaction (emoji) to a specific message within a Discord channel. It is useful for automating reactions to messages in Discord servers, such as acknowledging messages, expressing emotions, or triggering other bot actions based on reactions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automatically add a thumbs-up emoji reaction to a message when a certain event occurs.
  2. React with a custom emoji to messages in a specific channel to facilitate community engagement.

Properties

Name Meaning
Channel ID The ID of the channel containing the message to which the reaction will be added.
Message ID The ID of the message to which the reaction will be added.
Emoji The emoji to react with, which can be a Unicode emoji or a custom emoji ID.
Additional Fields Optional additional parameters that can be set, such as embed JSON, text-to-speech flag, reason for the action, and other Discord-specific settings, though not directly used for the reaction add operation.

Output

JSON

  • success - Indicates if the reaction was successfully added.
  • messageId - The ID of the message to which the reaction was added.
  • emoji - The emoji used for the reaction.
  • added - Boolean indicating the reaction was added.

Dependencies

  • Discord API
  • Bot token credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Channel ID and Message ID are correct and the channel is text-based, otherwise the node will throw an error 'Channel not found or not text-based'.
  • The emoji must be a valid Unicode emoji or a custom emoji ID recognized by the Discord server; invalid emojis will cause the reaction to fail.
  • The bot must have permission to add reactions in the specified channel; lack of permissions will result in failure.
  • If the bot token is invalid or expired, authentication will fail, preventing the reaction from being added.
