Auto Reactions

React automatically to words or channels.

Configure Auto Reactions in the dashboard

Overview#

Auto reactions adds reactions to messages for you. A rule is a trigger and the emojis it reacts with, and the trigger is either a word or a whole channel.

A word rule reacts to any message containing that word. A channel rule reacts to every message posted in that channel, which is what turns a suggestions or media channel into a voting channel without anyone having to remember to add the first two reactions.

Each rule can carry several emojis, standard or custom to your server, and they are added in the order you list them.

Setup#

  1. Open the dashboard and go to Community > Auto Reactions.
  2. Pick a Trigger type: a word, or a channel.
  3. Enter the Trigger word, or pick the Trigger channel.
  4. Add the emojis under Reactions.
  5. Press add. The rule is live immediately.

Suggestion: add a second music bot so the queue stops filling up.

A channel rule on a suggestions channel, adding the vote reactions to every post.

Tips and gotchas#

A custom emoji does not work.

Iris has to be in the server the emoji comes from. Use an emoji from this server, or one of the standard set.

Can one trigger have two rules?

No. A trigger is unique, and adding a second rule for it is refused. Edit the existing rule to add more emojis.

Do reactions apply to bot messages?

No. Messages from bots and webhooks are skipped on both rule types, so a channel rule only reacts to what members post.
