- Needs a Discord connection whose secret is the bot token.
- Needs READ_MESSAGE_HISTORY, and ADD_REACTIONS as well when nobody has reacted with this emoji yet.
See Add Reaction run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Discord connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
