How do I add an emoji reaction to a Discord message?

Short answer: You can add reaction in Discord by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Discord Add Reaction action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Add Reaction.

What does the Add Reaction action do in Discord?

Adds an emoji reaction to a Discord message from the bot. Used as a lightweight ack or to seed a reaction-vote message.

What inputs does Add Reaction require?

Required: Channel ID, Message ID, Emoji. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Discord returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Discord returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Add Reaction support batch operations?

Run Add Reaction inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Discord's rate limits.
