It it possible to make a Discord bot send a message once a previous message has received a reaction? I was thinking about something like:

if(cmd === `${prefix}list`) {
    var i = 0;

    let embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
      .addField("List", "Content");

    let anotherembed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
      .addField("Message", "List has been pleted!");

    return message.channel.send(embed);

    do {
      message.channel.send(anotherembed + 1);
    }
    while (i !== 0) && (reaction.emoji.name === "✅");

}

Here is the link and an example they used:
