How to add a reaction to bot's message

So I want to add an emoji reaction to the bot's message. But idk what code to make it.

I only know the code to react to the command message.

else if(command === "guessage"){
    message.channel.send({ embed: {
      color: 16758465,
      title: "Are you...",
      description: Math.floor((Math.random() * 20) + 11) + " " + "years old?"
      }
    })
    message.react('👍').then(() => message.react('👎'));

const filter = (reaction, user) => {
    return ['👍', '👎'].includes(reaction.emoji.name) && user.id === message.author.id;
};

message.awaitReactions(filter, { max: 1, time: 60000, errors: ['time'] })
    .then(collected => {
        const reaction = collected.first();

        if (reaction.emoji.name === '👍') {
            message.reply('you reacted with a thumbs up.');
        } else {
            message.reply('you reacted with a thumbs down.');
        }
    })
    .catch(collected => {
        message.reply('you reacted with neither a thumbs up, nor a thumbs down.');
    });
  }

You need to await the sending of the message and use it's message object.

For example:

else if (command === "guessage") {
    (async () => {
            let bmsg = await message.channel.send({
                embed: {
                    color: 16758465,
                    title: "Are you...",
                    description: Math.floor((Math.random() * 20) + 11) + " " + "years old?"
                }
            })
            await bmsg.react('👍');
            await bmsg.react('👎');

            const filter = (reaction, user) => {
                return ['👍', '👎'].includes(reaction.emoji.name) && user.id === message.author.id;
            };

            bmsg.awaitReactions(filter, {
                    max: 1,
                    time: 60000,
                    errors: ['time']
                })
                .then(collected => {
                    const reaction = collected.first();

                    if (reaction.emoji.name === '👍') {
                        message.reply('you reacted with a thumbs up.');
                    } else {
                        message.reply('you reacted with a thumbs down.');
                    }
                })
                .catch(collected => {
                    message.reply('you reacted with neither a thumbs up, nor a thumbs down.');
                });
        })();
    }

I'm using an async IIFE to allow await to be used. There are other places where await should be used, but I'll leave that up to you.

Handle the promise of each Message#reply()

Example Using Callbacks:

message.reply('you reacted with a thumbs up.').then(botsMessage => botsMessage.react('EMOJI-HERE'));

Example using Async/Await (Recommend for maintaining reaction order):

// Inside an async function
const botsMessage = await message.reply('you reacted with a thumbs up.');

await botMessage.react('EMOJI-1');
await botMessage.react('EMOJI-2');
await botMessage.react('EMOJI-3');
