Create Claimable Rewards in Discord
In this how-to we will create a claimable reward ready to publish in your Discord server.
Prerequisites
Enabled platforms in Unified Player Accounts settings (only needed if you will require platform linking when cliaming a reward)
Squire invited and configured in your Discord server
Create a Claimable Reward
Claimable Rewards uses the same Triggers system as the rest of LootLocker, allowing you to connect Discord reward campaigns directly to your existing economy, progression, and asset systems.
Create a Trigger
In the LootLocker Web Console, create a new Trigger and configure the Trigger as you normally would, including:
A name and key
Any claim limits or usage restrictions
The reward that should be granted
Click the Save button to save the Trigger.
Configure Squire Settings
Once the Trigger has been saved, reopen the Trigger and you will see a new tab called Squire. This is where you configure how the Claimable Reward announcement will appear in Discord.
Configure the content for the Discord reward post by adding title and body text using plain text or markdown and add a custom image to make the reward post more visually engaging.
Use the Preview Embed button to see exactly how the post will appear in Discord before publishing.
Publish to Discord
When you are ready to launch the campaign, click Announce Rewards and select the Discord channel where you want the reward campaign to appear, then click Announce Rewards to publish the post in Discord.
Squire will create a message in the selected channel with a Claim Reward button that players can interact with directly inside Discord.
Claiming a Reward
By default, when a player clicks Claim Reward, the reward is granted to a LootLocker player profile associated with that user’s Discord ID. If a profile with that Discord ID does not exist within LootLocker, one is created automatically and transparently.
This is useful when:
You want to start building player identity from Discord
Your game is not live yet
You want to run pre-launch campaigns without requiring a game integration
You want players to claim rewards before they choose a platform
Require Platform Linking when Claiming a Reward
If you want the reward to be connected directly to a player’s in-game platform account, you can require platform authentication as part of the claim flow.
This is done by adding a Segment to the Trigger.
In the Trigger configuration menu, click Add Segment and add the following settings:
Condition: Have linked
Operator: One of
Select the platforms you want to allow players to use during claiming
When this Segment is present, the claim flow will prompt the player to sign in with one of the allowed platforms.
This results in:
The player’s Discord ID being linked to their platform ID
The reward being associated with the correct player profile
Future reward claims becoming easier, because the player is already recognized
This only needs to happen once. After the player has linked their platform account, future Squire interactions can recognize them automatically.
Conclusion
In this how-to we have created and published a Claimable Reward in Discord. Whether you’re rewarding your community, running a pre-launch campaign, or driving platform account linking, Claimable Rewards gives you a simple way to connect Discord engagement directly to your game’s player identity and reward systems.
When your game is ready, integrating the LootLocker SDK allows these rewards to be surfaced directly in-game for players who have already claimed them.
