How to Make Discord Dropdown Reaction Roles with Sapphire Bot

Discord reaction roles are a great way to allow users to give themselves roles. However, there is a way to make these roles selectable in a nice little menu.

In the video I'll be showing you how to use the Sapphire (Sapphbot) Discord bot to create custom embeds that contain a dropdown menu that allow you to select your role. I'll also show you a handful of tips at the end to make your embeds look a bit better and some common diagnosis problems.

Thank yall for 100k subs 💖 Here's to my slow and steady progression to world domination.

This bot is honestly so underrated
I only looked at it because of this tutorial, but after using it for a bit i just now realized that it's essentially like a pretty advanced free-to-use MEE6 replacement. Does a lot of the things i need it to do, and the developer has officially stated that the bot will remain 100% free and still gain updates (the only subscription for it are the name/pfp customization subscriptions; which haves to be paid because it means they have to host a completely new instance of the bot to change it's name/pfp)

You are the only person I know that always ends up making actually funny tutorials.

Dude you are really awesome for making this and explaining it in a simple but effective way. I also like how you don't spend too much on each topic and you move on to each topic smoothly.

Hey, thank you a lot for making this video about my bot! You explained it extremely well and even mentioned a lot of useful tips throughout the whole video.
I was not aware of the "Page isn't working" bug you mentioned in the beginning of the video / some people had this problem but it was not clear how they got there. Anyway, this bug is fixed now. The "Guild unavailable" bug you had when sending a message should not be that common as it only occurs when Sapphire is rebooting because of some feature update or bug fix. But feel free to report weird bugs like these in Sapphire's support server, I usually fix them within a few hours.
Thanks again for that awesome video.

I've seen the roles in ur server and i was really trying to make them for my server, thanks for this video

[wbisher]

Ayyy! Congratulations on 100k! I never noticed that! It's just amazing!

Pro tip: Enable "Remove empty lines" in the "Updateroles" Template. It'll look cleaner if someone got a role.

[nishantsoman]

Man seriously! Just to the point and so so satisfying! Thankk you so much!

[cozyflake]

[Wyrizon]

Thank you master! Keep it up the good work! Follow your dreams! Also congrat for 100K subs!😁

Dyno and many other bots has this feature but in the free version you can only make 5 or 3 of dropdowns and not a lot of customzation. I used to use Slash Bot for the dropdown but this bot is the best one.

[Helunky]

Dude thank you so much, giving you a sub just because of your personality. Love it!

[yaboimalakaid]

As much as it kills my forearm to scroll n reassign all the roles on the creating dropdown menu, the finished product is SOOOO worth omg. Carl bot is getting kicked, tysm for an actually helpful practical tutorial that ACTUALLY explains it. Life SAVER! Ty dude :)) Im now gonna do this till my arm falls off for my servers cuz it just looks so ahhh wish me luck :'))

[shimoari]

Thank you, this will help on server making

[Kaeribana]

Also, you can add emotes next to the options not in the embed description I coded my version of dropdown roles because one of the bots I was using (Yui, maybe some of you know the bot) literally went offline and never got online anymore and froze my verification and all the roles lmao and just went "nah fam, gonna do it myself, AGAIN"

Discord is adding in built in reaction roles called "Role Prompts"

[isotonicc]

i miss videos that feel like this, cozy music in the background and a soft voice. its great that he progressed and improved his speech to be more charismatic, it's just my personal thing that i prefer a calm tutorial rather than a fast-paced video with commentary full of (often times forced) jokes about 'relatable' topics.

[naxyan]

If u use the "toggle role" module, it will make it so that when u click on a role to get a role even tho u have the role, it will get rid of it! (the update role module which u added also works with it too!)



BTW can u do a full tutorial for that bot? Like, talk about all the components, it's auto mod, mod, it's custom commands etc... (BTW the bot have 180+ logs :moyai:)
