# Paid Reaction

### 🚀 Overview

Paid Reaction allows your system to automatically send a paid reaction (⭐ stars) when a message is successfully forwarded.

This helps increase engagement, visibility, and perceived value of your content.

👉 Each message will receive a reaction only once, ensuring no duplicate spending.

***

### ⚙️ How It Works

1. A message is successfully forwarded by the task
2. The addon is triggered
3. The system sends a paid reaction (stars) based on your configuration
4. The reaction is applied:
   * To the target message, source message, or both (depending on settings)
5. Each message is processed only once

***

### ✅ Key Features

* ⭐ Automatically sends paid reactions for each forwarded message
* 🔢 Customize how many stars to send (1 → 5)
* 🛡️ Choose reaction privacy (anonymous or default)
* 🎯 Flexible reaction scope:
  * Target message
  * Source message
  * Or both
* ⚙️ Can be enabled per task

### 🎯 Reaction Scope Explained

* target\_only → Reacts to the forwarded message (default)
* source\_only → Reacts to the original source message
* both → Reacts to source first, then target

***

### 🛡️ Privacy Modes

* anonymous → Reaction is always anonymous
* default → Uses your Telegram account’s privacy settings

***

### 📌 Behavior Notes

* Each message gets only one paid reaction per task
* Reactions are sent only after successful forwarding
* Works seamlessly with your existing automation flow

***

### 🚫 Limitations

* ❗ Requires sufficient Telegram stars balance
* ❗ Will not retry if a reaction fails
* ❗ Only applies to messages processed by the task
