I want the bot to react to an embed it has created but I can't seem to get it working. It creates the embed but doesn't emoji react to it.

Here's the code:

#

method Message#react()
Adds a reaction to the message.

#

    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName ('reactionrole')
    .setDescription ('Sets up a reaction role message!'),
    async execute(interaction, message, client){

        const platformUserEmoji = ':bust_in_silhouette:';
        const creatorEmoji = ':desktop:';
 
        const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setColor('#C2C2C2')
            .setTitle('Select your role!')
            .setDescription('Choose the role corresponding to your position in the Vastlight Platform.\n\n'
                + `${platformUserEmoji} for Platform User\n`
                + `${creatorEmoji} for Creator`);
                
                await interaction.reply({embeds: [embed]});
                await message.react(platformUserEmoji);
                await message.react(creatorEmoji);
    }                   
}```

#

It says: "TypeError: message.react is not a function"

#

I couldn't find the react function in the docs

#

method ChatInputCommandInteraction#reply()
Creates a reply to this interaction. (more...)

#

it seems it's named something else

#

As you see here

#

You can use the fetchReply to get the message as the resolved interaction (does not work on ephemeral messages)

#

And you can use this message that it returns to react

tribal birch Aug 30, 2022, 1:58 PM

#

ephemeral messages. That would be an embed right?

ionic gale Aug 30, 2022, 1:59 PM

#

Not necessarily, ephemeral messages can be of any type

#

You aren't using ephemeral

#

You dont need to worry

#

Just added as a side note

#

I'm sorry, i'm new to this

#

look at my code

#

how can i implement fetchReply to make the bot react to that embed?

#

I would appreciate it

ionic gale Aug 30, 2022, 2:01 PM

#

You need to pass fetchReply: true to the payload

#

Assuming you know how promises work

tribal birch Aug 30, 2022, 2:01 PM

#

I do not unfortunately

ionic gale Aug 30, 2022, 2:01 PM

#

You can assign the resuting response from the reply on a variable

#

And use that variable to react
