I'm looking to retrieve attachments for a message after it's been sent, and I was hoping to do this when a reaction is received on that message, but I'm not sure that's possible.

The message_reaction message type only gives you the original message's ID as a reference point (unlike the message_reply type, which inlines the entire message object for the replied message).

Is it possible to look up the original message object via its messageID with the existing API? If not, is it feasible to add the entire message object to the message_reaction payload the way we do with message_reply messages? Or is this something Facebook explicitly includes in the payloads for these message types that we don't have control over?

A quick glance at the payload construction for these message types in the source leads me to believe this is likely the case 😞

There is an endpoint that Facebook uses to fetch the group image change event by messageID. I'll have to test if it works with other messages then I could implement it here.

@7osCraft that would be fantastic! Let me know if there's anything I can do to assist.

@7osCraft I'd also be happy to look into it as well if you point me in the right direction – when exactly is that endpoint hit?

I'm sorry for the delay. The endpoint is hit when someone changes a group's image.
