I want to make the bot react to it's own message. I am making a !vote command and it can make a message saying "Cast your vote: " already. I want to make a reaction to that new message, like an example, where it reacts with a checkmark and a red x for people to click on. How can I do this?
Sending a message returns a promise with said message. Resolve it and react to it.
message.channel.send(...)
.then(msg => msg.react(...));
// or
const newMsg = await message.channel.send(...);
newMsg.react(...);
Here you go!:
client.on("messageCreate", msg => {
if (msg.content === `!vote`) {
msg.channel.send(`Cast your vote:`).then(msg => {
msg.react("✅");
msg.react("❎");
})
}
});
