ClawhHub has emoji-reaction-automator but it's for sending reactions, not reading them. No skill exists for reading WhatsApp emoji reactions on specific messages. OpenClaw doesn't expose reaction events at the API level. Even with a skill, the underlying data isn't available.

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by developing a custom skill to read WhatsApp emoji reactions on specific messages, as the existing emoji-reaction-automator skill only supports sending reactions.

Guidance

  • Investigate the OpenClaw API documentation to see if there are any undocumented or upcoming features that expose reaction events, which could simplify the development of the custom skill.
  • Consider reaching out to the OpenClaw community or support team to request access to reaction event data or guidance on developing a custom skill.
  • Evaluate the feasibility of using alternative APIs or services that provide access to WhatsApp emoji reactions, if available.
  • Develop a custom skill using the GLM 5.1 model to read WhatsApp emoji reactions on specific messages, if no other solutions are available.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific technical details about the custom skill development.

Notes

The solution relies on the development of a custom skill, which may require significant resources and expertise. Additionally, the availability of reaction event data through the OpenClaw API or alternative services is uncertain.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Develop a custom skill to read WhatsApp emoji reactions on specific messages, as the existing emoji-reaction-automator skill is insufficient. This approach allows for a potential solution despite the limitations of the OpenClaw API.
