Typing dots animation #337

Closed tomimartin01 closed 3 years ago

tomimartin01 commented 3 years ago

I would like to know if it is possible to show the animation of the typing dots just after the user send a message. Sometimes the bot takes some time to respond and it seems broken. I would like to implement some animation in this time or extend the time of the typing dots in the webchat.
It would be a great solution that the whole time the bot is 'thinking', the typing dots are shown on the chat to indicate the user that the bot is alive. I tried the customMessageDelay but this was not what I was looking for, because the delay depends only of the message's lenght, I would like another solution. I am using the webchat in a script tag.

Thanks.

Isnt this topic beginning to get even hotter with GPT. Does anyone have a solution. People stop using my bot because they think its broken when there is no indication that a message is coming.
