Conversation AI

Conversation AI should ignore message reactions (likes, hearts, thumbs up, etc.) in SMS conversations
We are currently using Conversation AI for SMS communication, and we’ve encountered a consistent issue that affects both user experience and professionalism. When a contact reacts to a message (e.g. ❤️ 👍 😂 or similar reactions), Conversation AI treats this as a new incoming message and responds to it. This leads to unnatural and sometimes confusing interactions, since a reaction is not an actual reply or intent to continue the conversation. Example scenario: AI sends a message to the contact Contact reacts with 👍 Conversation AI sends a follow-up message as if the contact replied with text This creates unnecessary messages, breaks the conversational flow, and can feel awkward or even spammy from the customer’s perspective. Expected behavior: Conversation AI should ignore message reactions entirely and not trigger any response, workflow, or automation when a contact only reacts to a message. Suggested solution: Introduce a built-in filter or setting such as: “Ignore message reactions (likes, hearts, emojis without text)” Or automatically detect and suppress responses to reaction-type inputs Ideally, this should apply across all Conversation AI channels where reactions are possible (SMS, WhatsApp, etc.). Why this matters: Improves conversation quality and realism Prevents unnecessary or duplicate responses Aligns with how humans interpret reactions (acknowledgment, not a reply) Reduces risk of annoying or over-messaging leads This would be a highly valuable quality-of-life improvement for all users relying on Conversation AI for customer communication.
