Add an emoji reaction to a message. Platform support: - Telegram: Supports a subset of Unicode emoji reactions - WhatsApp: Supports any standard emoji (one reaction per message per sender) - Instagram and Facebook Messenger: Any standard emoji, subject to Meta's 24h messaging window - Slack: The emoji must have a Slack name (e.g. `:thumbsup:`); unnamed characters return 400 - 'iMessage: The six Apple tapbacks (❤️ 👍 👎 😂 ‼️ ❓) render natively; any other emoji is sent as a custom emoji tapback (iOS 18+ recipients)' - All others: Returns 400 (not supported)
Send typing indicator
Show a typing indicator in a conversation. Platform support: - Facebook Messenger: Shows "Page is typing..." for 20 seconds - Instagram: Shows "typing..." to the recipient (works for both Instagram Login and Facebook Login accounts). The recipient must be signed in to Instagram to see it. - Telegram: Shows "Bot is typing..." for 5 seconds - WhatsApp: Shows "typing..." for up to 25 seconds. Requires a recent inbound message in the conversation (Meta references the inbound message id) and also marks that message as read as a side-effect. - iMessage: Shows a typing bubble for ~15 seconds (1:1 conversations only; requires a recent two-way exchange) - All others: Returns 200 but no-op (platform doesn't support it) Typing indicators are best-effort. The endpoint always returns 200 even if the platform call fails; `success` reports whether a typing indicator was actually sent to the platform (`false` on unsupported platforms or when the platform call failed).
