Start typing indicator

POST/v3/chats/{chatId}/typing

Send a typing indicator to show that someone is typing in the chat.

Behavior

Typing indicators are best-effort signals that behave as follows:

No delivery guarantee: Even for active chats, a 204 response only indicates the request was accepted for processing.
Direct and group chats: Typing indicators work in both direct and group chats.

Recommended usage

Call this endpoint when composing begins, and send the message to clear the indicator. To clear the indicator without sending a message, call DELETE /v3/chats/{chatId}/typing.
