I want to give a more realistic experience to user by showing the text "Bot is typing" under chatbox, before viber bot sends the message (even simulated with a delay).

It is already implemented by viber but i could'n find any callback for that. Also known as Typing Receipts or Typing Indicator

Your help will be appreciated! thanks!

  • `console.log("Bot is typing")`? – Jeremy Thille Apr 14 '21 at 11:52
  • After start a conversation with a viber user, while is typing a reply to you, a small message appears under the chatbox saying "user X is typing". I'm trying to achieve this functionality with a bot. Before bot reply to user, to show this message... Definitely not a console.log but a reaction to viber user. – George Gotsidis Apr 14 '21 at 12:02

It is not available for Viber Bots.

I saw similar functionality for Telegram and others, but not for Viber Bot API.

    Thanks for your answer, indeed Telegram has this callback, i hope viber will extend its API. – George Gotsidis Apr 27 '21 at 05:21
  • @GeorgeGotsidis also hope so. Currently, when possible I'm sending separate messages like `Got that, one moment...` or `Processing...` or `Loading...` – wowkin2 Apr 27 '21 at 09:59
