POpostproxy
Direct Messages

Show typing indicator (Facebook & Instagram)

Shows a typing indicator in the participant's thread — the "..." bubble they see while a reply is being composed. Facebook Messenger and Instagram Direct only; other networks return 422. Asynchronous: eligibility is validated up front and the action is delivered to Meta in the background. Meta clears the indicator after about 20 seconds or as soon as a message is sent, and it only renders while the participant is inside the messaging window.

Query parameters

profile_group_idstring

Profile group context for the request. Optional when the API key is scoped to a profile group (that group is used automatically); with a full-access key, defaults to the first profile group in the account.

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Optional idempotency key (up to 255 characters; a UUID is ideal). Retrying a successful write with the same key replays the original response (with an Idempotent-Replay: true header) instead of executing again. Stored responses are kept for 24 hours; only 2xx responses are stored.

Response

Typing action accepted for asynchronous delivery.
