Discord.Py adding reactions to an embeded message

Question

So I am trying to add three different reactions (emojis), to a message that the bot has sent in a text channel.

The user fills in a form in their DM, and the message then get sent into a text-channel called "admin-bug", the admins of the server can then react to three different emojis:

fixed
will not be fixed
not-a-bug

And then, depending on what emoji the admin press on, the message will be transferred to a text channel.

But! I can't seem to figure out how you actually add the reactions to the message itself, I have done a bunch of googling, but can't find the answer.

code:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = '---'
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!!')

reactions = [":white_check_mark:", ":stop_sign:", ":no_entry_sign:"]


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Bot is ready.')


@bot.command()
async def bug(ctx, desc=None, rep=None):
    user = ctx.author
    await ctx.author.send('```Please explain the bug```')
    responseDesc = await bot.wait_for('message', check=lambda message: message.author == ctx.author, timeout=300)
    description = responseDesc.content
    await ctx.author.send('````Please provide pictures/videos of this bug```')
    responseRep = await bot.wait_for('message', check=lambda message: message.author == ctx.author, timeout=300)
    replicate = responseRep.content
    embed = discord.Embed(title='Bug Report', color=0x00ff00)
    embed.add_field(name='Description', value=description, inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name='Replicate', value=replicate, inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name='Reported By', value=user, inline=True)
    adminBug = bot.get_channel(733721953134837861)
    await adminBug.send(embed=embed)
    # Add 3 reaction (different emojis) here

bot.run(TOKEN)

Messagable.send returns the message it sends. So you can add reactions to it using that message object. Simply, you have to use a variable to define the message you sent by the bot.

embed = discord.Embed(title="Bug report")
embed.add_field(name="Name", value="value")
msg = await adminBug.send(embed=embed)

You can use msg to add reactions to that specific message

await msg.add_reaction("💖")

Read the discord.py documentation for detailed information.

Message.add_reaction
