Email Notifications Only Trigger on โ๐โ Emoji Reaction


๐งพ Summary: Users receive an email notification only when reacting with the โ๐โ emoji in the ArcBlock Marketplace comment section. All other emojis (๐ โ ๐ ๐ ๐ โค๏ธ ๐ ๐) fail to trigger any email notification, resulting in inconsistent user experience and missed engagement alerts.
๐งฉ Affected Component: Comment Reaction Notification System
๐งช Steps to Reproduce:
- Log in to ArcBlock Marketplace.
- Go to any discussion comment thread.
- React using various emojis: ๐ ๐ โ ๐ ๐ ๐ โค๏ธ ๐ ๐
- Check your DID Wallet-linked email inbox.
๐ง Actual Result: Only the ๐ (thumbs up) emoji triggers an email notification. Other emojis do not send any notification.
โ Expected Result: Every emoji reaction should trigger a notification (either email or in-app).
๐ฅ Impact:
- Users are unaware of reactions other than ๐.
- Causes inconsistent engagement feedback.
- Reduces interaction visibility and notification reliability.
โ๏ธ Suggested Fix:
- Extend backend event triggers to handle all emoji types under
reaction_added. - Pass
reactionTypeto the notification service for proper handling. - Add missing mappings for emojis in notification templates.
๐งฑ Proof of Concept (POC):
- Tested all emojis on the same post.
- Verified that only ๐ resulted in an email notification.
- Confirmed no backend event logs for other emoji types.
๐ Reference:
- ArcBlock Marketplace Comment System (
did-commentsmodule) - Notification Service (
reaction_eventhandler)
