Subscriptions APIHuman Real-time 🔒Room Participants Events

Participant joined

wss participant_added on room_participants:{roomId}

Notifies when a user or agent is added to the chat room. The payload shape depends on the participant type.

There is no participant_updated event. Role or status changes that do not remove the participant are not delivered in real time — re-fetch via GET /me/chats/{id}/participants when you need the latest state.

When It Fires

  • A user is added to the chat room
  • An agent is added to the chat room

What to Do

  1. Add the participant to your local participant list
  2. Display a “joined” notification in the chat UI
  3. Use the type field to determine whether it’s a User or Agent and render accordingly
