| You can have your app's messages stream in to replicate conventional agent behavior. Bolt for Python provides a `say_stream` utility as a listener argument available for `app.event` and `app.message` listeners. | ||||||

| The `say_stream` utility streamlines calling the Python Slack SDK's [`WebClient.chat_stream`](https://docs.slack.dev/tools/python-slack-sdk/reference/web/client.html#slack_sdk.web.client.WebClient.chat_stream) helper utility by sourcing parameter values from the relevant event payload. | ||||||
| The Python Slack SDK provides a [`chat_stream()`](https://docs.slack.dev/tools/python-slack-sdk/reference/web/client.html#slack_sdk.web.client.WebClient.chat_stream) helper utility to streamline calling these methods. Here's an excerpt from our [Assistant template app](https://github.com/slack-samples/bolt-python-assistant-template): | ||||||
| | Parameter | Value | | ||||||
| |---|---| | ||||||
| | `channel_id` | Sourced from the event payload. | ||||||
| | `thread_ts` | Sourced from the event payload. Falls back to the `ts` value if available. | ||||||
| | `recipient_team_id` | Sourced from the event `team_id` (`enterprise_id` if the app is installed on an org). | ||||||
| | `recipient_user_id` | Sourced from the `user_id` of the event. | ||||||
| ```python | ||||||
| streamer = client.chat_stream( | ||||||
| channel=channel_id, | ||||||
| recipient_team_id=team_id, | ||||||
| recipient_user_id=user_id, | ||||||
| thread_ts=thread_ts, | ||||||
| ) | ||||||
| # Loop over OpenAI response stream | ||||||
| # https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/responses/create | ||||||
| for event in returned_message: | ||||||
| if event.type == "response.output_text.delta": | ||||||
| streamer.append(markdown_text=f"{event.delta}") | ||||||
| else: | ||||||
| continue | ||||||
| feedback_block = create_feedback_block() | ||||||
| streamer.stop(blocks=feedback_block) | ||||||
| If neither a `channel_id` or `thread_ts` can be sourced, then the utility will merely be `None`. | ||||||

| from slack_bolt import App, SayStream | ||||||
| from slack_bolt.adapter.socket_mode import SocketModeHandler | ||||||
| from slack_sdk import WebClient | ||||||

| stream = say_stream() | ||||||
| stream.append(markdown_text="Someone rang the bat signal!") | ||||||
| stream.stop() | ||||||
| @app.message("") | ||||||
| def handle_message(client: WebClient, say_stream: SayStream): | ||||||
| stream = say_stream() | ||||||
| stream.append(markdown_text="Let me consult my *vast knowledge database*...) | ||||||
| stream.stop() | ||||||
| if __name__ == "__main__": | ||||||
| SocketModeHandler(app, os.environ.get("SLACK_APP_TOKEN")).start() | ||||||
| ``` | ||||||
| In that example, a [feedback buttons](/reference/block-kit/block-elements/feedback-buttons-element) block element is passed to `streamer.stop` to provide feedback buttons to the user at the bottom of the message. Interaction with these buttons will send a block action event to your app to receive the feedback. | ||||||
| #### Adding feedback buttons after a stream | ||||||
| ```python | ||||||
| You can pass a [feedback buttons](/reference/block-kit/block-elements/feedback-buttons-element) block element to `stream.stop` to provide feedback buttons to the user at the bottom of the message. Interaction with these buttons will send a block action event to your app to receive the feedback. | ||||||
| ```py | ||||||
| stream.stop(blocks=feedback_block) | ||||||
| ``` | ||||||
