### **Problem**

When using **HubSpot Chatflows** with an **external endpoint** , we see a UX timing issue:

- The **typing indicator appears and disappears** , then
- There is a **noticeable delay** before the response message is rendered.
- During this gap, no loading or feedback is shown.

This **only happens when the external endpoint response takes longer**.  
If the response is fast or no external call is made, the issue does not occur.

### **Expected Behavior**

We would prefer one of the following:

- Keep the typing indicator visible **until the response is rendered**
- Allow disabling the typing indicator and using another loading mechanism
