# Send Typing **Introduction** This step sends a typing status notification to a specified channel. **Description** When activated, it shows that the bot is typing a message in the channel. The typing status lasts for 10 seconds or until a message is sent, whichever comes first. **Configuration** * **Channel**: Choose the channel where the typing status will be displayed. This is a required field. **Usage** Useful for creating a more interactive and responsive experience, signaling to users that a response or action is forthcoming from the bot. **Permissions** * Requires both "View Channel" and "Send Messages" permissions to send a typing notification in a guild channel. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
