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
- Add the participant to your local participant list
- Display a “joined” notification in the chat UI
- Use the
typefield to determine whether it’s a User or Agent and render accordingly
