Facebook Messenger Platform - Detect user typing


When developing bots, it's common practice to show typing indicator to user, while bot is working on background, but is it possible to detect opposite situation: whether USER is typing or idle? I could not find any info in docs or google. Does anybody know how to achieve that?


Solution

  • This currently can't be done.

    You can only show the user that you are typing.

    "typing_on" and "typing_off" for the sender_action.
