void TgBot::Api::sendChatAction	(	int64_t	chatId,

Use this method when you need to tell the user that something is happening on the bot's side. The status is set for 5 seconds or less (when a message arrives from your bot, Telegram clients clear its typing status).

Instead of sending a text message along the lines of “Retrieving image, please wait…”, the bot may use sendChatAction with action = upload_photo. The user will see a “sending photo” status for the bot. We only recommend using this method when a response from the bot will take a noticeable amount of time to arrive.

Parameters

chatId	Unique identifier for the target chat.
action	Type of action to broadcast. Choose one, depending on what the user is about to receive: typing for text messages, upload_photo for photos, record_video or upload_video for videos, record_audio or upload_audio for audio files, upload_document for general files, find_location for location data.

		int32_t	maxConnection = 40,
		const StringArrayPtr &	allowedUpdates = nullptr
	)		const

Use this method to specify a url and receive incoming updates via an outgoing webhook. Whenever there is an update for the bot, we will send an HTTPS POST request to the specified url, containing a JSON-serialized Update. In case of an unsuccessful request, we will give up after a reasonable amount of attempts.

If you'd like to make sure that the Webhook request comes from Telegram, we recommend using a secret path in the URL, e.g. www.example.com/<token>. Since nobody else knows your bot‘s token, you can be pretty sure it’s us. You will not be able to receive updates using getUpdates for as long as an outgoing webhook is set up. We currently do not support self-signed certificates. Ports currently supported for Webhooks: 443, 80, 88, 8443.

Parameters

url	Optional. HTTPS url to send updates to. Use an empty string to remove webhook integration.
