Chat: Is there any way to see all the users who reacted to a message?

On chat if more than 5 people react / give a thumbs up to a message than it says the first 5 names “and N others reacted with :+1:”.

Our support team wants to get in touch with everyone who reacted to this message but there does not seem to be any way to get a list of all the people who responded.

Is there any way to get the full list of people who react to a message in chat?

I believe you can use the API for chat to get the specific message, where reactions is a list with all the reactions, and the users who reacted.

Thanks @NateDhaliwal . I tried that out but when I go to /chat/api/channels/:id/messages.json it only shows me the same 5 users which are showing in the UI with no way to get the others (see screenshot below).

Pinging @j.jaffeux from that API thread in case he knows how to do it. Very frustrating to not be able to see who responded / reacted to the message as we have no way of contacting the people who expressed interest / requested to be contacted.

Hi Earnie! If you have the data explorer plugin on your site, you can probably create a query there to get the information you need. But you’re right that it seems to be an oversight that this information isn’t just available in the interface, which we already have in posts.
