Struct telbot_types::message::SendChatAction

pub struct SendChatAction {
    pub chat_id: ChatId,
    pub action: ChatActionKind,
}

Use this method when you need to tell the user that something is happening on the bot’s side. The status is set for 5 seconds or less (when a message arrives from your bot, Telegram clients clear its typing status). Returns True on success.

Example: The ImageBot needs some time to process a request and upload the image. Instead of sending a text message along the lines of “Retrieving image, please wait…”, the bot may use sendChatAction with action = upload_photo. The user will see a “sending photo” status for the bot.

It is recommended to use this method only when a response from the bot will take a noticeable amount of time to arrive.

Fields

chat_id: ChatId

Unique identifier for the target chat or username of the target channel (in the format @channelusername)

action: ChatActionKind

Type of action to broadcast.
