Drops & Engagement Events

Create engaging events where users react or click to claim rewards.

Default Events

When you run /setup connect, the bot creates 3 default events:

EventDescriptionRewardLimit
daily_checkinGM/GN pattern detection2 RSNC1 per 24hrs
news_trackerEmoji reaction drops for announcements5 RSNC1 per user per message
regular_engagementQuality message contributions10 RSNC5 per day

These are fully customizable via /config events or the Partner Portal.


Channel Watch (Auto-Instanced Drops)

The most powerful way to reward engagement with announcements. Instead of manually creating a reaction drop for every message, bind a template event to a channel and let the bot handle the rest.

How It Works

  1. You run /watch start channel:#announcements
  2. Every new message in #announcements automatically gets a reaction drop
  3. Users react to earn RSNC — each message is tracked independently
  4. No message IDs to copy, no /drop commands to run

/watch start

/watch start channel:#announcements
/watch start channel:#announcements event:news_tracker emoji:📰 reward:10
ParameterRequiredDescriptionDefault
channelYesChannel to watch-
eventNoEvent template to usenews_tracker
emojiNoEmoji for reactionsFrom event config
rewardNoOverride reward amountFrom event config

/watch stop

/watch stop channel:#announcements

Stops creating new drops in the channel. Existing drops on messages remain active.

/watch list

/watch list

Shows all watched channels with their event type, emoji, and reward.

Example Workflow

1. /setup connect brand_id:0x... security_key:...
→ 3 default events created (daily_checkin, news_tracker, regular_engagement)

2. /watch start channel:#announcements event:news_tracker emoji:📰
→ #announcements is now watched

3. Post "Big product update!" in #announcements
→ Bot auto-adds 📰 reaction to the message
→ A reaction drop is created for that specific message

4. Users react with 📰 → each earns 5 RSNC
→ 1 claim per user per message (independent tracking)

5. Post "Weekly community news" in #announcements
→ Another independent reaction drop, same process
Best Channel Types

Channel watch works great with:

  • Announcement channels — restricted to admins, each post is meaningful
  • News channels — curated updates your community should engage with
  • Update channels — product releases, patch notes, etc.

The /drop Command

Create one-off button-based or reaction-based drops linked to your custom events.

Button Drop (Default)

Posts a message with a claim button:

/drop event_id:announcement_reward label:"Claim Reward" description:"Thanks for being here!"

Reaction Drop

Attach a drop to an existing message:

/drop event_id:announcement_reward type:reaction message_id:123456789 emoji:🎉 lifespan:2h

Embedding Drops in Announcements

For one-off drops (when you don't have channel watch set up):

Step 1: Post Your Announcement

Write and post your announcement normally:

@everyone 🎉 Big news! We just hit 10,000 members!

Step 2: Get the Message ID

  1. Right-click the message
  2. Click "Copy Message ID"
  3. (Enable Developer Mode in Discord settings if you don't see this)

Step 3: Create the Reaction Drop

/drop event_id:celebration type:reaction message_id:PASTE_MESSAGE_ID lifespan:2h emoji:🎉

Step 4: Watch Users React!

The bot automatically:

  • Adds the emoji to your message
  • Tracks who reacts
  • Sends rewards to claimers
  • DMs users confirmation
Channel Watch vs Manual Drops

Use /watch when you want every message in a channel to be rewarded automatically. Use /drop when you want to reward a specific one-off message.


Event Integration

Drops pull settings from your event configuration:

  1. Create event in Partner Portal:

    • Name: Announcement Celebration
    • Reward: 25 RSNC
    • Max Claims Per User: 100 (first 100 users can claim)
  2. Use in Discord:

    /drop event_id:announcement_celebration type:reaction message_id:123456
  3. Event settings apply:

    • Reward amount from event config
    • Max claims respected
    • Cooldowns honored
    • Analytics tracked
Event Name Normalization

Event names with spaces are automatically normalized:

  • "Announcement Celebration"announcement_celebration
  • Both formats work in the command

How Reaction Drops Work

  1. Admin creates drop (or channel watch auto-creates) → Bot adds emoji to message
  2. Users react with the correct emoji
  3. Bot validates:
    • Active drop exists
    • Correct emoji used
    • User hasn't claimed yet
    • Max claims not reached
    • Drop hasn't expired
    • Event is enabled
  4. Reward sent → User receives RSNC
  5. Confirmation → Reaction added + DM sent

Manual Rewards

Reward users directly for valuable contributions.

Basic Usage

/reward user:@Username event_id:helpful_contribution

Common Event IDs

EventSuggested UseExample Reward

Configuration

Configure which roles can use /reward in Partner Portal:

  • Integrations → Discord → Manual Rewards
  • Set allowed roles
  • Restrict event types
  • Set cooldowns

Channel-Based Event Triggers

Configure events to only trigger in specific channels:

In Partner Portal:

  1. Go to Events → Select your event
  2. Under Detection Methods, select Discord
  3. Enter allowed channels: feedback, support, tech-talk

Behavior:

  • Channels specified: Event only triggers in those channels
  • Channels empty: Event triggers anywhere
  • Channel names are case-insensitive
  • Don't include # prefix

Best Practices

Channel Watch Strategy

  • Watch announcement-type channels where admin posts are meaningful
  • Use specific emojis per channel (📰 for news, 🎉 for celebrations)
  • Keep rewards modest (5-10 RSNC) since every post triggers a drop
  • Review /watch list periodically to ensure watches are still relevant

Timing Your Drops

  • Flash drops: Short lifespan (5-30 min) creates urgency
  • Announcement drops: 2-24h gives everyone a chance
  • Permanent drops: Use for evergreen content

Claim Limits

  • First-come: Set max-claims to limit total claimers
  • Unlimited: Use for celebration events everyone should get

Engagement Tips

  1. Announce drops in your announcement channel
  2. Use relevant emojis that match the event
  3. Set appropriate rewards - not too high, not too low
  4. Track with /stats to see engagement
