Overview

This node operation sends a typing event to a specified Zalo user or group chat. It is useful for indicating to the recipient that the sender is currently typing a message, enhancing real-time communication experience. For example, it can be used in chatbots or automated messaging systems to simulate human-like interaction by showing typing indicators before sending a message.

Use Case Examples

1. Sending a typing event to a Zalo user to indicate that a message is being composed.
2. Sending a typing event to a Zalo group chat to notify members that someone is typing.
