**This is for developer-specific feature requests. For other requests please contact our customer support team.**

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**  
There is no webhook events for Reactions. I’m currently working on my company’s bot that will add customizable list of actions you can perform on messages in multiple chats:

Here’s subset of actions to get a general idea across:

- Create issue from message
- Collect all relevant links from message and dump them as a reply  
…

Our team wants to implement such actions without the need to type bot commands, but rather use Reactions to trigger specific actions. For example 🔗 emoji to dump relevant links, and so on.

**Describe the solution you’d like**  
I’d like to receive reaction webhook events.

**Describe alternatives you’ve considered**  
There are alternatives, but they all have disadvantages/possible pitfalls:

- Use some existing chat api to poll all messages in chats and detect added reactions. Possible pitfall - rate limiting of said api endpoints.
- Send bot message with each action as a button that users can click to invoke it. Better solution but this would clutter all chats, and generate +1 message on each user message.
