How to Use Zira Bot Discord [ Zira Bot Commands Guide ]

Zira Bot is a Discord bot that works as a reaction role bot. It allows users to give themselves roles by reacting to messages with emojis/emotes. 

Zira is one of the best reaction role bots out there. It is incredibly customizable compared to many of the other reaction role bots. It is very easy and simple to use. It gives you so much more customizability than other bots and requires just a few commands to be able to do relatively complex and custom setups. Zira Bot is perfect for the owner or admin of servers who want more than a basic bot that just repeatedly spams your DMs for every role that you react to.

HOW TO USE ZIRA BOT REACTION ROLE?

It is very easy to set up reaction roles in Discord using the Zira bot after successfully inviting it to the server. Follow the steps below to set-up new reaction roles for your server-:

• Now the first step involves checking if the Zira bot has been successfully added and is responding to its commands correctly or not, if not then you can check the troubleshooting guide below.
• Now go to the server settings by right clicking on your server and clicking on server settings. 

• Go to the roles section to add new roles. Click on the blue ‘CREATE ROLE’ button. 
• You can customize the role names and colors according to your liking. In order to provide an example, here, I have created three dummy roles -: 

• Now go back to your server. Before adding these roles to emojis, we first need to create a new text channel in our server which will solely be dedicated to containing all of the assigned roles and their emojis. Here I have created a new text channel by the name of ‘assigned-roles’.
• Now go to any of your text channels, although it is recommended that you create another new text channel for setting up the bots. For now, I will use an existing text channel for this process. 
• Type ‘z/channel’ and press enter (‘z/’ is default prefix for the Zira bot, if you have changed the prefix then use that instead). You will receive a message from Zira that you have to mention the channel that you want to use. Write the name of the channel you are using to save the assigned roles to. In this case, I will write ‘#assigned-roles’ and press enter which will result in a successfully set active channel message. Now this channel will be used for assigning roles.

• For assigning emojis to the roles, we type ‘z/message’ and press enter after which Zira will ask to enter the message ID. The format for entering the message ID is – “ROLE NAME – :EMOJI NAME:” (exclude the double quotes). In my case, I will write “Dog – :dog:” to add the dog emoji to my Dog role. You can also simply replace the ‘:EMOJI NAME:’ part with the actual emoji to achieve the same effect. 

• You can check the “#assigned-roles” channel (or the name you have chosen) to see all of the assigned roles.

•  Now the final step is to add the emojis to the roles. Go back to the previous text channel and type “z/add :EMOJI NAME: @ROLE NAME” and press enter. For example, “z/add :dog: @Dog”.

•  Go to the “#assigned-roles” channel and you will be able to see that you can react with the dog emoji on the previous message. Anyone server member who reacts with this dog emoji to the message will have the Dog role assigned to them. You can see the assigned role by clicking on a member in the members panel.

 

HOW TO REMOVE ZIRA BOT FROM YOUR DISCORD SERVER?

ZIRA BOT NOT WORKING?

Sometimes the Zira Bot might have issues like not responding to commands or may be offline. In order to get the bot working correctly, you might need to follow appropriate steps to troubleshoot the bot, if you run into some problem.

• The Zira Bot not responding to any commands – This might be happening because Zira doesn’t have the required permissions. Zira bot needs Read Messages, Read Message History, Send Messages, and Embed Links permissions in order to read messages and respond appropriately.

• Zira not adding reactions to a message – It is possible that you most likely forgot to set the channel or message or both. Use the ‘z/channel’ command to set the channel where the message is going to be reacted. Then, use the ‘z/message’ command to set the corresponding message in said channel.

• Receiving an error message “Please set a channel and message first, then try this command again.” – This error message is shown when you have not set a channel or a message. To do this, you need to set a channel with’ z/channel’ command and a message with ‘z/message’ command after which you can set up the roles.

• Zira Bot not working, even though the channel and the message are set – Zira requires some additional permissions like Read Messages, Read Message History, and Add Reactions in the channel the message is in. Zira must also have the permission Use External Emojis to use any external emojis.

• Zira Bot has all the required permissions but it still can’t use a particular emoji – If you are trying to use any external emojis, it is required that the Zira Bot be present in the server from which the emoji is from.

• Zira Bot is reacting to the messages but assigning any roles – First and foremost, the zira bot must have the Manage Roles permission for this to work. Also, the Zira’s highest role must be higher than the role that it is trying to assign.
• Zira’s reactions aren’t staying in order – This is not a Zira Bot bug, but rather that Discord controls how the messages are ordered.
• Trying to remove reactions is unsuccessful – Zira will remove a reaction if it has the permission Manage Messages in the channel and the reaction meets the following criteria:

The reaction is on an active message but is not assigned to a role.
or
The type of the corresponding role is one of the following:
Once
Toggle
Remove
Otherwise, if any reactions remain, you will need to manually clean them up.

If the Zira Bot does not respond after applying the above steps, then make sure you did not change the zira bot default prefix.
