Your Slack Bot User OAuth token used to authenticate the API request. This token must have the necessary reactions:write and channels:read (or related) scopes. It typically begins with xoxb-.

channel_id

The unique Slack channel ID where the target message resides. Channel IDs usually start with C for public channels or G for private channels. This field supports interpolation functions.

Default: 64

timestamp

The timestamp of the message to react to. This is a unique identifier for the message, usually obtained from a previous Slack API call (such as chat.postMessage or conversations.history). It typically looks like a Unix timestamp with a decimal. This field supports interpolation functions.
