Discord.py - Make A Bot React To Its Own Message(s)

I am trying to make my discord bot react to its own message, pretty much. The system works like this: A person uses the command !!bug - And gets a message in DM', she/she is suppos

Solution 1:

In discord.py@rewrite, you have to use discord.Message.add_reaction:

emojis = ['emoji 1', 'emoji_2', 'emoji 3']
adminBug = bot.get_channel(733721953134837861)
message = await adminBug.send(embed=embed)

for emoji in emojis:
    await message.add_reaction(emoji)

Then, to exploit reactions, you'll have to use the discord.on_reaction_add event. This event will be triggered when someone reacts to a message and will return a Reaction object and a User object:

@bot.eventasyncdefon_reaction_add(reaction, user):
    embed = reaction.embeds[0]
    emoji = reaction.emoji

    if user.bot:
        returnif emoji == "emoji 1":
        fixed_channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id)
        await fixed_channel.send(embed=embed)
    elif emoji == "emoji 2":
        #do stuffelif emoji == "emoji 3":
        #do stuffelse:
        return

---

NB: You'll have to replace "emoji 1", "emoji 2" and "emoji 3" with your emojis. add_reactions accepts:

• Global emojis (eg. 😀) that you can copy on emojipedia
• Raw unicode (as you tried)
• Discord emojis: \N{EMOJI NAME}
• Custom discord emojis (There might be some better ways, I've came up with this after a small amount a research)

  asyncdefget_emoji(guild: discord.Guild, arg):
       return get(ctx.guild.emojis, name=arg)
  

Solution 2:

When you want to add non custom emojis you need to add its id and name into a format that discord.py can read: <:emoji name:emoji id>

For example, the white and green check emoji that is a discord default emoji... you would need to write <:white_check_mark:824906654385963018> for discord.py to be able to identify it.
