How can I use typing indicator to slow tasks? about stealth

Hey @luizcarvalho - This is for a Facebook Messenger bot correct?

Exactly @matthewblack

Cool. So for Facebook Messenger, typing indicators are built in at the reply level using delays.

So if you wanted a longer delay you could increase the delay, to something like 5 seconds in your reply file, like such:

- reply_type: delay
  duration: 5

However, the best practice would always be to send expense tasks to a background job. Which, is easy since Sidekiq is already built to the Stealth stack. :)

Ok, but when my task will be ran? I need put my task inner my yml files? O.o
I would like delay time be shown while my task is running, and stop after it done.

Or this is not possible?
