openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature: Typing indicator during agent active processing [1 participants]

TL;DR

Enable the proposed channels.telegram.typingDuringProcessing option to send typing indicators during agent processing.

Guidance

• Review the Telegram API documentation for sendChatAction to understand the requirements for sending typing indicators.
• Implement the proposed solution by adding the channels.telegram.typingDuringProcessing option and calling sendTypingTelegram() before model calls and tool executions.
• Verify that the typing indicator is displayed correctly during agent processing by testing with a complex request.
• Consider adding error handling to ensure that the typing indicator is stopped when the response is ready or an error occurs.

Example

if (channels.telegram.typingDuringProcessing) {
  sendTypingTelegram();
  // Model calls and tool executions
  // ...
  stopTypingTelegram();
}

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the sendTypingTelegram() function is correctly implemented in the Telegram plugin. Additional testing may be required to ensure that the typing indicator is displayed correctly in all scenarios.
