What is a Discord reaction roles bot?

It lets members give themselves roles. They react with an emoji, tap a button or pick from a menu, and the bot adds the role. Removing the reaction or tapping again takes it away, so nobody has to ask a moderator.

How do I make a reaction roles bot without code?

Sign in to camelBot with Discord and describe your roles in plain words. Name the colors or interests, the emoji or buttons, and who can post the panel. Our AI writes the bot. Try it in a private test channel, then publish it and add it to your server.

How do I give new members a role automatically?

Ask for it when you describe your bot. It gives every new member a starter role, such as Newcomer, the moment they join, and it can swap that role for another once they pick their own.

Can members wear one color at a time?

Yes. When someone picks a new color, the bot takes the old one off and gives the new one. Tapping their color again takes it off.

Can the bot make the roles for me?

Yes. It can make each role with its name and color, and it can hand out roles you already have too. Keep the bot's own role above the roles it gives, and Discord takes care of the rest.

Can a role open a channel?

Yes. Let a role see a channel, and members see it the moment they pick that role. Your bot can also make a private channel just for the people with a role.

Should I use emoji reactions or buttons?

Both work well. Reactions are the classic and show a count on each emoji. Buttons and menus send a private reply that only the member sees, so they always know what changed. Your bot can use any mix.

How much does a reaction roles bot cost?

Nothing right now, and there's no credit card to add. Build it, try it in your test channel and add it to your server.
