+#### Reaction trigger
+
+When `guilds.<id>.reactionTrigger.enabled` is `true`, reactions on the **bot's own messages** within a short time window are treated as session triggers: the agent receives an inbound message describing the reaction (e.g. positive/negative and who reacted), and can reply in the same channel. Useful for yes/no or confirm/cancel flows without typing a new message.
+
+- **Scope**: only reactions on messages sent by the bot; only within `reactionTrigger.windowSeconds` (default 60) after the bot message.
+- **Classification**: emoji are classified as positive (e.g. 👍 ✅ 👌) or negative (e.g. 👎 ❌). Custom lists: `reactionTrigger.positiveEmojis` and `reactionTrigger.negativeEmojis`. Neutral emoji do not trigger.
+- **Behavior**: when a positive or negative reaction matches, a system event is enqueued and an inbound message is dispatched to the session; the agent can reply. Regular reaction notifications are not emitted for that reaction.
+
+Example:
+
+```json5
+"YOUR_GUILD_ID": {
+  "requireMention": false,
+  "reactionNotifications": "own",
+  "reactionTrigger": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "windowSeconds": 60,
+    "positiveEmojis": ["👍", "✅", "👌"],
+    "negativeEmojis": ["👎", "❌"]
+  },
+  "channels": { "general": { "allow": true } }
+}
+```
+
+Omit `positiveEmojis`/`negativeEmojis` to use built-in default lists.

 Moltbot starts Discord only when a `channels.discord` config section exists. The token is resolved from `channels.discord.token`, with `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` as a fallback for the default account (unless `channels.discord.enabled` is `false`). Use `user:<id>` (DM) or `channel:<id>` (guild channel) when specifying delivery targets for cron/CLI commands; bare numeric IDs are ambiguous and rejected.
 Guild slugs are lowercase with spaces replaced by `-`; channel keys use the slugged channel name (no leading `#`). Prefer guild ids as keys to avoid rename ambiguity.
 Bot-authored messages are ignored by default. Enable with `channels.discord.allowBots` (own messages are still filtered to prevent self-reply loops).
-Reaction notification modes:
+Reaction notification modes (`guilds.<id>.reactionNotifications`):
 - `off`: no reaction events.
 - `own`: reactions on the bot's own messages (default).
 - `all`: all reactions on all messages.
 - `allowlist`: reactions from `guilds.<id>.users` on all messages (empty list disables).
+Optional `guilds.<id>.reactionTrigger`: when enabled, positive/negative reactions on the bot's recent messages (within `windowSeconds`, default 60) dispatch an inbound message to the session instead of only emitting a system event. See [Discord](/channels/discord#reaction-trigger).
 Outbound text is chunked by `channels.discord.textChunkLimit` (default 2000). Set `channels.discord.chunkMode="newline"` to split on blank lines (paragraph boundaries) before length chunking. Discord clients can clip very tall messages, so `channels.discord.maxLinesPerMessage` (default 17) splits long multi-line replies even when under 2000 chars.
 Retry policy defaults and behavior are documented in [Retry policy](/concepts/retry).
