Reaction bot

[Vsbsmfd]

Has anyone created a bot that can monitor a server for a specific phrase in a message, and then react to that message with a specific emoji and repeat?

You can do this easily by adapting the example in the README.

import discord

ALLOWED_GUILDS = (123, 456, 789)

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)

    async def on_message(self, message):
        # don't respond to ourselves
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        if message.guild.id in ALLOWED_GUILDS and 'phrase' in message.content:
            await message.add_reaction('👍')

client = MyClient()
client.run('token')

Never use time.sleep() with async code. Use asyncio.sleep().

Also side note: the <> isn't necessary for reactions and is actually removed by the library,

asyncio.sleep() does not run, it gives me the error below. time.sleep() was running without error and successfully giving me the 3 second delay.

RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'sleep' was never awaited
  asyncio.sleep(3)
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback
Ignoring exception in on_message

You need to await it.

Oh duh. Got it, it's working again. Thanks!
