Summary

Remove a reaction from a Signal message.

Inputs

  • recipient (required) — Phone number or group ID to send the message, reaction, or typing indicator to
  • targetAuthor (required) — Phone number of the message author to react to
  • targetSentTimestamp (required) — Timestamp of the message to react to (in milliseconds)
  • timeout — Request timeout in seconds (set higher for Get Groups, e.g., 300)

Output shape

The Signal API response data as JSON, or { status: 'Reaction removed' } if the response body is empty. Also returns a paired item indicating the processed input index.

Timeout defaults to 60 seconds; increase to 300+ for slow operations.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a thumbs-up reaction from a message sent by +1234567890 at timestamp 1700000000000

recipient: +1234567890; targetAuthor: +1234567890; targetSentTimestamp: 1700000000000; emoji: 👍 (omitted as not required for removal; operation uses DELETE /v1/reactions/{phoneNumber})
