How can I send message to slack channel indicate the bot is typing?

[scyforce]

I am building an integration between and other services, when the integration get notified the agent from other service is typing, I want to send user_typing event to slack channel, so in the channel it will display bubble, I checked the doc this user_typing event is only available through RTM api, https://api.slack.com/events/user_typing

I wonder does JBOT provide this feature to directly using RTM client to interact with slack?

Yes, it does. You can simply call reply() method with type me.ramswaroop.jbot.core.common.EventType#USER_TYPING like:

Message m = new Message();
m.setType(EventType.USER_TYPING.name().toLowerCase());
reply(session, event, m);
