Hi,

I’m working on creating a Chatbot App. What I have observed is the typing event is missing from the app. Can we have this functionality. This is important as the end user know that something behind the scenes is happening and have to wait till the bot responds.

Hey @naveen.mallapareddy,

Can you please explain further on what you mean by typing event? Are you saying a loading indicator so the user knows the Chatbot is responding?

Thanks,  
Tommy
