Is it possible to receive webhook events for replies in bot-posted threads without mentioning bot

[utk]

I am developing a feature using Google Chat APIs where I need to handle user comments or replies in the thread of a message posted by a bot. My specific requirement is to receive webhook events for any user reply in this thread without requiring the user to mention the bot or use a slash command.

Currently, I’ve observed that the bot needs to be explicitly mentioned for the event to trigger. Is it possible to achieve this functionality without mentions? If yes, what configurations or APIs should I use?

If this is not supported currently, are there any alternative approaches or workarounds that I could explore?
