Event Types

Learn about the available event types and choose the one that best matches your community activity.

Event Types help describe the purpose of your event. While every event uses the same reaction and countdown system, choosing an event type gives members additional context about what they're participating in. Premium servers can also create fully custom event labels.

Random Winner

Random Winner is ideal for giveaways, prize draws, and community contests.

Members react to join, and once the event ends a participant can be selected as the winner.

Watch Party

Watch Party events help organize community movie nights, videos, or live viewing sessions.

Members can react to join and receive a clear countdown until the event begins.

Stream Starting

Stream Starting events are designed for creators who want to notify their community before going live.

Use countdowns to build anticipation and allow members to react before the stream begins.

Community Goal

Community Goal events are useful for milestones, server challenges, fundraising events, or collaborative objectives.

They provide a simple way to encourage members to participate in shared community activities.

Limited Spots

Limited Spots events work especially well alongside participant limits, allowing administrators to host activities with a fixed number of available spaces.

Examples include tournaments, beta testing, private events, or small group sessions.

Custom Label (Premium)

Premium servers can create completely custom event labels.

Instead of using one of the built-in event types, you can define your own title such as 'Loot Drop', 'Flash Giveaway', 'Boss Battle', 'Trivia Night', or anything that fits your community.

Choosing an Event Type

The selected event type does not change how ReactionBot manages the event. It simply helps members understand what the event is about.

Choose the option that best represents your activity, or create a custom label if your community has unique events.
