How To Install Reaction Roles

This guide provides detailed instructions on how to add and set up the Reaction Roles bot on your Discord server. By following these steps, you’ll be able to allow members to self-assign roles by reacting to messages.

Before you begin

Ensure you have the Manage Server permission on the Discord server where you intend to install the bot. This is necessary to authorize the bot.

Here is the step-by-step process for installing the Reaction Roles bot:

1. Invite the Bot to Your Server

• Navigate to the official Reaction Roles website.
• On the homepage, you will find an “Add to Discord” button. Click this to begin the installation process.
• Alternatively, click the button below to invite the bot to your server.

2. Authorize the Bot

• After clicking the invite link, you will be redirected to Discord’s authorization page.
• Here, you will be prompted to select the server to which you want to add the bot from a dropdown menu. Click the “Continue” button once you have selected the server.

• Once you have chosen your server, a list of permissions the bot requires to function correctly will be displayed. These typically include permissions to Manage Roles, Send Messages, and Add Reactions. For the bot to work as intended, it is crucial to leave all these permissions checked.

• Click the “Authorize” button to proceed. You may be asked to complete a CAPTCHA or enter your 2FA code to continue.

3. Confirmation of Installation

• Once authorized, the Reaction Roles bot will be added to your server. You should see a confirmation message, and the bot will appear in your server’s member list.

• The Reaction Roles bot will also send you a DM with a welcome message.

4. Initial Setup and Configuration (Optional but Recommended)

• While the bot is now on your server, you may want to familiarize yourself with its commands to begin creating reaction roles.
• The default prefix for the Reaction Roles bot is / (slash commands).
• To see a full list of commands, view the Commands Overview page.
• For more detailed documentation and advanced setup guides, you can visit the official Reaction Roles documentation.
