Sending Embed Descriptions in Discord with on_reaction_add

When developing a Discord bot, you might encounter challenges when trying to relay information based on user reactions. For instance, you may want to send the description of an embed into another channel once a certain number of votes are cast in a poll. In this guide, we'll tackle this problem step-by-step, ensuring you can effectively relay the information you need to another channel simply and efficiently.

Understanding the Problem

You want to achieve two main things in your Discord bot:

Send the description of an embed when a user reacts with a specific emoji (✅) indicating approval.

Send this information to another channel based on its channel ID.

Check if the message is in a specific channel before processing the reaction.

Let’s break down how to implement these features reliably in your bot.

Setting Up the on_reaction_add Function

You already have a basic structure for your on_reaction_add function. Here's a recap of what you started with:

While this is a good starting point, we need to make a few adjustments to incorporate sending the embed description to another channel.

Step 1: Identifying the Channel

Before we can send messages to another channel, you first need to specify the channel ID where you want your message to go. You can do this easily with the following line of code:

Replace CHANNEL_ID_HERE with the actual ID of the channel you want to send the embed description to. This step allows you to direct your message exactly where you want it.

Step 2: Sending the Embed Description

Next, you ensure that you can send the description of the embed itself. Assuming that the original message consists of an embed, you should extract the embed description and send it like this:

This line sends the description of the first embed present in the message to the designated channel. Make sure that your message indeed contains embeds and that the list is not empty!

Step 3: Adding Channel Validation

Now, to make sure that you only process the reaction if it belongs to a specific channel, you can add a simple check at the beginning of your on_reaction_add function:
