is_typing | ParsChat API

A human started or stopped typing. This is distinct from message.generating, which is the AI, and you may want to render them differently.

by.role says who: an operator typing is worth showing to the end customer, a client typing is worth showing to the operator.

A stopped event is not guaranteed. A connection can drop mid-typing, so expire the indicator yourself after a few seconds rather than waiting for is_typing: false.
