Reaction roles
Let members give themselves roles by clicking buttons on a panel — no staff needed.
Reaction roles let members assign themselves roles by clicking buttons on a panel you post. It's the self-serve way to hand out roles like pronouns, game pings, notification opt-ins or colour roles — without anyone on your team lifting a finger.
You configure reaction roles in the dashboard under Other → Reaction Roles. Each panel is an embed with a row of buttons, and every button toggles one role.
Clicking a button toggles the role: if the member doesn't have it yet, they get it; if they already have it, it's removed. One click on, one click off.
Create a panel
- 1
Open Reaction Roles
In the dashboard sidebar, go to Other → Reaction Roles and click Create panel. New panels start as a Draft, so nothing is posted yet.
- 2
Build the embed
Set the title, description and colour for the panel. This is the message members see above the buttons — explain what the roles are for.
- 3
Add buttons
Add a button for each role. Every button has a Label (the text), an Emoji, a Style/colour (blurple, grey, green or red) and the Role it toggles.
- 4
Set it to Active
Switch the panel from Draft to Active once it's ready to go live.
- 5
Send it to a channel
Pick a channel and press Send panel. Rimpllee posts the panel and members can start clicking right away.
Put the Rimpllee role above the roles it grants
In Server Settings → Roles, the Rimpllee role must sit above every role it hands out. Discord blocks any bot from adding or removing a role that's higher than its own. See Invite Rimpllee.
