Make it yours, then build

This is the brief the AI starts from. Swap in your channel names, roles and limits.

  1. The AI asks a question if something is unclear and shows you the plan.
  2. You create the bot on Discord with our step-by-step setup.
  3. It goes online in your server, hosted by us.

Change anything: channel names, roles, limits. Plain words are fine.

What this template includes

  • Reaction-based, button-based, or dropdown-based panels
  • Multi-select or single-select (mutually exclusive) modes
  • Per-panel role limits (e.g. "max 3 game roles")
  • Persistent: roles re-apply correctly after server restarts
  • Hidden roles: assign without showing the role list
  • Mod commands to update panels without re-creating them

Why servers run one

Reaction roles are a self-service way for members to opt into pings, color themes, or interest groups without bothering staff. A click on an emoji adds a role; clicking again removes it. Discord Bot Creator builds reaction-role panels (or modern button/select-menu panels) from a single description.

Questions about the reaction roles bot

What's the difference between reactions and buttons?

Reactions use emoji and look classic but are slow on mobile. Buttons are the modern Discord standard — faster, clearer labels, better accessibility. We default to buttons unless you ask for emoji reactions.

Can I limit how many roles a user picks from a panel?

Yes — single-select (mutually exclusive) or multi-select with a hard cap (e.g. "max 3").

Will roles persist if the bot is offline?

Yes. Once the role is assigned, it's on the user. The bot only needs to be online when users click, and it queues clicks during brief downtime.

How do I add a role after the panel is up?

Use /panel-edit <panel-id> add-role @NewRole emoji:🎮 — no need to delete and re-create the panel.
