I've been created my own discord bot but i have this error for this code: 

    message.channel.send(":apple:***SONDAGE :apple:\n "+choix1+" ou "+""+choix2+"***")
      .then(function (message) {
          message.react("")
          message.react("")
         message.pin()
          message.delete()
       });

It's send a message to the channel and add reaction, and in my console i have this error: 

(node:11728) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): DiscordAPIError: Unknown Message
(node:11728) DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

On top of the previous things that the other answers have mentioned, functions like message.react(...) all return Promises, so for example the message might get deleted before the react/pin promises are resolved.

If you want things to happen in order you need to have a long .then(...).then(...).then(...) chain, or alternatively you could use async/await. Here's an async/await example:

client.on("message", async (message) => {
  const sentMessage = await message.channel.send("my message");
  await sentMessage.react("");
  await sentMessage.react("");
  await sentMessage.pin();
  await sentMessage.delete();
});

If you want to do any error handling on failures, you can wrap the await stuff in a try/catch block:

client.on("message", async (message) => {
  try {
    const sentMessage = await message.channel.send("my message");
    await sentMessage.react("");
    await sentMessage.react("");
    await sentMessage.pin();
    await sentMessage.delete();
  } catch (e) {
    console.error(e);
  }
});

I had the same error, you do message.delete(), but you want to add reactions. When a message is deleted the bot can't add reactions. Just remove the message.delete() and no error will come.
