Show Progress Indicators in Enhanced Chat v1 Sessions
Progress indicators tell the messaging user what actions an agent is taking behind the
scenes of an Enhanced Chat session. Standard actions come with pre-written progress indicators,
such as "Doing research" or "Analyzing". To customize progress indicators, create a custom agent
action.
This article applies to: Agentforce Service agents and Agentforce Employee
agents
To learn about channel support for other agent types, see the documentation for
that type.
Note These steps are required for Agentforce Employee agents connected to Enhanced Chat v1. These
steps aren't required for Agentforce Employee agents connected to the Agentforce panel in
Lightning Experience, the Salesforce mobile app, or Slack.
Access Progress Indicators for Your Agent
Standard agent actions come with pre-written loading text. You can specify your own
loading text when you create a custom
agent action.

Deployments, and click Embedded Service Deployments.
