+1 for our organisation too. If the bot initiated a thread or sent a message, surely we should be able to receive a notification if it's a reaction to that message.
I think this relates to issue
I believe other Chat platforms like Slack and Discord allow this.

+1 for our bot
Our solution needs user reaction to improve its answers and suggestions. I confirm it works on other platform such as MS Teams, Slack etc...

I'm not sure why this feature request is closed. I believe it was about the bot getting notified about when a user reacts to a message with an emote. This does not appear to happen as of now - no events are sent to the backend API when that happens, and it is not listed as a valid event in https://developers.google.com/workspace/chat/events . The referenced link https://developers.google.com/chat/api/reference/rest/v1/spaces.messages.reactions only talks about creating, deleting and listing reactions - polling for reactions is not practical in chat apps with large user populations and high-velocity interactions. Does anyone in this thread have up-to-date information about current status of emote reaction notifications?
Happy to raise a new feature request if re-opening this one is not feasible.

Description
Add the ability for bots to receive reactions to messages, including/specifically messages that were not originally @mention'd to it. Currently, it appears to only receive *messages*, that mention it. For example, if I add a thumbs up to someone else's message, I want my bot to know (a) that I sent it and (b) who's message I emoted. It doesn't necessarily need to know the contents of the message.
What is the purpose of this new feature?
There used to be a "Leaderboard" bot in IRC where people could simply ++ someone's name and the bot would recognize it and keep track of who had the most ++'s. In Chat, we could emulate this by recognizing (a) who had the most reactions of any type to their comments and (b) who had the most "+" emotes on their messages.
We would then show the leaderboard as a card when requested.
What existing APIs would this affect?
It would probably affect the Event API, although it could also affect the Webhook API, I guess, since the bot wouldn't really be expected to respond when messages were emote'd. It would only respond when someone did @mention it to display the leaderboard.
What existing data does this use?
Emotes
