Discord reaction roles bot
Roles by reaction or button, response buttons and automatic word reactions, without your staff lifting a finger.
With Dispatch.IO, your members pick their own roles. A reaction role works on any message in a text channel: add the reaction to get the roles, remove it to lose them. A role button works like a switch and answers with a confirmation only the member sees, with your own text if you like. A response button shows a saved message, for example your full rules behind a Rules button.
On the website, a four-step wizard builds the panel: a Components V2 container, a classic embed or an existing message, then the channel, content, buttons, colors and roles. Deploy to Discord, and the bot posts the message and adds the reactions itself. From Discord, /config adds triggers to an existing message. When a message, channel or role is deleted, the matching triggers are cleaned up automatically.
The same module includes word reactions: the bot reacts with your emojis when a word shows up in a message. All of it is free; the number of panels and word reactions grows with the Basic and Ultimate plans. You set it up from Discord with /config or from the web dashboard.

Main commands
FAQ
How do I set up reaction roles on Discord?
On the Role Reactions page of the website, pick a format and a channel, add an Emoji Reaction trigger with the emoji and the roles to give, then click Deploy to Discord. The bot posts the message and adds the reaction itself. From Discord, use /config on an existing message, by channel and message ID.
Reaction or button: which should I choose?
Reaction roles assign silently and work on any message, even a member's. Role buttons only go on bot messages, but they reply with a private confirmation and can give or remove several roles at once.
Can Dispatch.IO give a role automatically to new members?
For roles given automatically when someone joins, use the welcome roles of the welcome module: they are added right after the welcome message. Reaction roles and role buttons let members choose their roles themselves.
Why is the role not given when a member clicks?
The bot needs the Manage Roles permission and its role must sit above the roles it gives. If it cannot assign a role, the member sees no error message, so check those two points first.
